When performance stops feeling worth it: A conversation leaders rarely admit they’re having

In this episode, James Rule tackles a question many experienced leaders think but rarely say out loud: “Is this still worth it?” This is not an episode about burnout or quitting leadership. It’s a candid, challenging conversation about misalignment, emotional fatigue, and the hidden cost of sustained high performance. If you are still delivering results but quietly questioning the trade-offs, this episode will resonate.
