[Trauma-Informed] Leadership Uncensored

Season 2, Episode 12: It's Lonely at the Top

Dr. Dawn Emerick Season 2 Episode 12

Shakespeare once said, 

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown” 

Was he correct? Leadership can be very isolating. On one hand, employees shun friendships with their boss because it may result in bias against the them. On the other hand, leaders intentionally self-isolate from employees so they can appraise their performance fairly. Additionally, leaders fail to form social connections and relationships with their peers due to lack of alliances, trust, brutal politics and authoritative cultural norms. 

Join us for the next Leadership Uncensored as we explore loneliness and isolation in leadership roles. Professional Certified Coach Terry Hoffmann shares her perspective on the issue, engagement tips and stories from the field.
