The Loneliness of Leadership and Its Antidote, Part One | Jandel Allen Davis

Why does leadership feel so lonely when you are surrounded by people? The loneliness of leadership shows up in the hard decisions that wake you at two in the morning and the inner critic that gets louder when the stakes are highest. Dr. Jandel Allen Davis, President and CEO of Craig Hospital, opens the Leadership Development Series on April 28th, 2022 with a talk she calls "Antidote to Loneliness, Wholehearted Leadership," built in four acts.

In this conversation: - How ego needs like being right, being liked and not screwing up keep leaders stuck on hard decisions - Why courage is fear that said its prayers, and how to quiet the dragon in your own head - How to handle the loudest critic in the arena, which is often yourself - Why the antidote to exhaustion is not necessarily rest, drawing on poet David Whyte, and why the hardest decisions are never made alone

Guest: Dr. Jandel Allen Davis, President and CEO, Craig Hospital
