The Broken Leadership Formula You Need to Stop Following

Is mindfulness really the solution to better leadership? In this episode, we challenge the popular formula of “Mindfulness = Empathy + Psychological Safety” and explain why it often leads to fragile, ineffective leadership. Instead of stopping at self-awareness or emotional connection, we introduce a more complete framework: impact equals right action plus right motive. You’ll learn how overvaluing your personal leadership strengths—or undervaluing what others on your team bring to the table—can lead to blind spots that hold your organization back.

We also explore the critical difference between reading the room and leading the room, and how insecure leadership often keeps us stuck in cycles of validation rather than transformation. Whether you’re leading a small team or an entire organization, this episode will help you move beyond surface-level solutions and step into leadership that creates real, lasting impact. Listen now and discover how to lead with both clarity and courage.
