## Resource

Most leaders believe an open door policy is automatically a good thing. I'm not so sure. In this episode, I share six questions every leader should ask about their open door policy — especially in hybrid and distributed workplaces. We'll explore: • why "open door" doesn't always mean accessible • how interruptions hurt leadership effectiveness • the dependency trap many leaders accidentally create • why uninterrupted work matters for leaders too Having an open door policy is a fine idea. But the door can't always be open. What do you think?
