Why Senior Leaders Need an Objective Sounding Board

Описание: The higher we climb, the less truth we hear.

At senior levels of leadership, isolation isn’t accidental. It’s structural.

Authority changes what people say, how meetings unfold, and how decisions take shape long before you notice it happening.

In this video, I explain why CEOs and senior leaders often operate inside a filtered reality — and why even experienced executives need a confidential space where ideas, doubts, and trade-offs can be pressure-tested without politics or performance.

After working with more than 200 CEOs and senior executives across Fortune 500 companies, investment banking, private equity, and high-growth firms, I share a clear perspective on:

• Why power creates distance and distorts feedback

• The hidden cost of leadership isolation

• How executive presence changes what others reveal to you

• The role of a strategic sounding board in high-stakes decision making

This conversation is designed for CEOs, founders, managing directors, partners, and senior leaders navigating complexity, influence, and consequential choices.
