Outsourcing Your Integrity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every leader eventually places a piece of their reputation into someone else's hands, and this leadership development episode explores what that really means. The moment you build a team, you are no longer the only person representing your standards to the world. You feel this most sharply when someone on your team drops the ball, disappoints a customer, or stops being responsive, because the mistake becomes yours to answer for even though you didn't make it.

Every leader eventually asks a version of the same question: am I becoming who I actually am, or who the world has told me I need to be to count as successful? This episode of Now Go Lead centers on that exact tension as a foundational piece of leadership development, the pull between necessary growth and quietly trading your identity for the approval, money, or recognition our culture uses to measure success.
