Manage episode 287320138 series 2894308
There's an adage that it can be lonely at the top. But I believe that leaders can be lonely at every stage—whether you're the CEO or a manager of two.
And this pandemic has only increased that feeling of loneliness.
Spending eight to nine hours a day in the same room and at the same desk takes a toll on your mental and social health.
So how do you combat the feeling of loneliness as a leader?

In today's podcast, I interview Damian LaCroix - current Superintendent of Howard Suamico School District and 2017 Wisconsin Superintendent of the Year about the five prescriptions for combatting leadership loneliness.
