The 3 leadership myths

The Maverick Paradox Podcast

In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Jodi Hume about leadership myths and decision fatigue.

Key Takeaways

• Hustle culture and the idea that it's "lonely at the top" are damaging myths about leadership
• Emotional/energetic regulation is crucial for optimal executive functioning and decision making
• Having a support network you can process decisions with is key to avoiding decision fatigue
• Saying "yes" and figuring things out along the way can build confidence

In this conversation they discuss how neurodivergence often aids entrepreneurship, with different thinking driving innovation. Understanding individual needs optimises one's decision-making.

They agree doubt ensures prudence but imposter syndrome labels normal fears. Success emerges from navigating uncertainty, not perfectionism.

After a 15 year career as COO of a rapidly growing architecture firm, Jodi Hume now provides on-call decision support and facilitated leadership conversations for startup founders and entrepreneurs across the globe. She is also lead singer of The Wafflers.
