Episode 58: The Leadership Reset: Stop Drowning, Start Swimming (Part 3 of 3)
Also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
In this final episode of the mini-series, host Jimmy Burroughes covers the piece most leaders never make time for: the reset. Building on mindset and toolset, he explains why pausing to check your course is what separates leaders who survive from those who thrive. Using a military metaphor about drowning, treading water, and swimming, he introduces the stop-start-continue framework, applied to both your actions and the beliefs driving them.
