Episode notes
Every leader faces the tension between holding onto hope and confronting brutal reality.
In this episode, Matt Ware unpacks the Stockdale Paradox — the leadership principle that says you must never lose faith that you will prevail, while also refusing to ignore the hard facts in front of you.
This is a tension you don't solve — you learn to manage it.
