Hello Reader,
Two weeks ago, I asked a simple question:
When sustained pressure builds, what is your first instinct?
More than half of the leaders who responded said the same thing:
Stay quiet and move on.
That answer didn’t surprise me.
I’ve watched that pattern play out many times.
Pressure builds.
And capable people absorb it.
They keep showing up.
They keep delivering.
They keep carrying what no one else sees.
From the outside, it looks like strength.
But over time, something begins to narrow.
In this week’s installment of the Struggle Well series, I explore what happens when silence becomes the strategy.
Including a moment from my conversation with Wade Mitzel that names the pattern clearly:
“When I struggle poorly, I isolate myself… and I lose my purpose.”
You can read the full piece here:
As you read, consider this question:
Where in your life or leadership might you be carrying something that was never meant to be carried alone?
More next week.
