Note sull'episodio
What happens when a CEO, executive, founder, or high-capacity leader moves faster than their team can process, align, and trust?
In this episode of Lena Speaks: The Podcast, Lena Morris continues Week 2 of The Reckoning Series with a powerful conversation on The Velocity Mismatch: Why Your Speed Is Outrunning Your Team’s Trust.
A fast-moving CEO can unintentionally create slower organizational results when speed at the top becomes confusion, rework, burnout, disengagement, and quiet resistance throughout the culture.
This episode is for CEOs, executives, founders, senior leaders, HR leaders, culture leaders, leadership teams, and high-capacity professionals who want to build healthier workplace culture, stronger trust, clearer communication, and better leadership alignment.
