Have you noticed the widening gap between how we expect leaders to behave in the public sphere versus in corporate organizations?

In episode 283, Ramona Shaw tackles two timely and important questions: What is happening to leadership and how do we keep our standards intact?

From headlines of public leaders dodging accountability to viral social media figures equating leadership with dominance, we’re seeing a shift in what some people perceive as “strong leadership.” But in our companies, those signals don’t fly. And they shouldn’t.

Inside this episode, we unpack:

• Why public and corporate leadership are governed by two different sets of standards
• The seven shared expectations we have of leaders
• What happens when we don’t, with real-world cautionary tales from WeWork, Wells Fargo, and Kroger
• Why leaders today need to be more explicit than ever about the values they uphold and the behavior they expect

When organizational standards get fuzzy, cracks form; slowly at first, then suddenly. Misalignment, disengagement, and broken trust are often symptoms of leaders failing to walk the talk. 

This episode unpacks what’s at stake and why now is the time to reestablish what good leadership looks like before external norms start seeping in.
