Summary
In this episode, Perry Holley and Chris Goede explore the concept of detachment as a leadership superpower. They explain how detachment allows leaders to control their emotional reactions under pressure, creating space between an event and their response. They also discuss how detached leaders can drastically improve their decision making by evaluating information more accurately and in real-time. Furthermore, they emphasize that detachment expands perspective, enabling leaders to look beyond immediate threats and notice secondary issues, downstream consequences, and opportunities to pivot.
