Show Notes
Ben discusses how thoughtful leaders can survive and succeed in difficult workplace environments.
Drawing on his own experience, he explains why some strong leaders may opt out of senior roles due to toxic cultures, and why that's a loss for organisations.
Key strategies include knowing what you are getting from your current role, clarifying your personal values, connecting to a sense of purpose, and building a trusted support network.
Ben also shares the example of rugby referee Hollie Davidson and reflects on how difficult environments can filter out capable people.
