He had access to rooms most people in those buildings would never enter. And for years, nobody in those rooms adjusted their behavior for him. What he observed became one of the formative questions of his career: Do leaders behave the same way regardless of who is watching? In this episode, Jens reflects on the pattern he noticed in the corners of those rooms, what it reveals about how presence works within complex organizations, and what it means to build the kind of consistency that does not depend on an audience. A conversation about leadership, observation, and what we do with the things we notice.
