What if the real issue isn’t burnout—but misalignment?
In this episode of the BOLT, I sit down with Megan Leasher, organizational psychologist and executive coach, to explore why high achievers often feel stuck when what made them successful stops working. Together, they unpack how workplace disruption creates internal shifts, how to spot early warning signs, and how to realign with purpose and growth.
Topics We Discussed
- Why high achievers get stuck at the next level
- What disruption looks like for leaders today
- Misalignment vs. burnout and disengagement
- Recognizing early “smoke signals”
- The role of trust between leaders and teams
- How coaching uncovers the real issue
- Habits that hold leaders back
- Delegation and empowerment
- Body signals of stress and misalignment
- Fear, identity, and reframing challenges
- Why leadership development starts too late
- The power of pause and reflection
- Building a “support army”
- The key question: Where do I want to be?
