Quick announcement for loyal listeners: after publishing every week since September 2021, I’m shifting the podcast’s cadence. Going forward, episodes will drop only when there’s something genuinely impactful and possibly contrarian to share. Fewer episodes, higher signal — same commitment to depth.

This episode explains the change, why it matters for you as a leader, and how it frees space for me to focus on new projects and coaching. If you’re here for in-depth leadership analysis, understanding stress patterns, or creating real career and personal change, nothing changes — the bar just went up.

Also, if you’ve been considering coaching, this is a prime window: this phase gets my best attention and newest thinking.

Key takeaways:

• Consistency has value, but signal matters more than cadence.
• Fewer, high-impact episodes allow deeper thinking and better content.
• Leadership development is ongoing — this podcast will continue to provide insight, analysis, and practical guidance.
• Coaching is available now for those ready to engage.

Call to action:

• Stay connected: https://dexrandall.com
• Reach out if you’re considering coaching — now is a great time.

Sign-off:
“Keep leading with intention. Keep doing good. Until next time.”

January optimism fades fast.
Goals wobble. Energy drops. And that familiar voice shows up: “I should be further along by now.”

In this episode, Dex explores why high-achieving leaders often get stuck leading from the Gap — measuring themselves against a moving ideal — and how shifting to the Gain changes performance, energy, and impact without relying on willpower.

This is a grounded conversation about leadership, not a hype-up.

In this episode

• What “the Gap” is and why high performers live there
• How self-criticism quietly drains leadership energy
• What “the Gain” looks like in real leadership, not theory
• Why progress fuels motivation better than pressure
• Simple ways to refocus when the Gap shows up at work

Who this is for

Leaders and professionals who are capable, driven, and respected — yet tired of being hard on themselves as a performance strategy.

Every leader has blind spots. Not because they’re careless or incompetent — but because they’re human.

In this episode, Dex shares a formative leadership mistake from early in his career and uses it to unpack how beliefs, biases, and unexamined assumptions quietly shape leadership decisions. Often at a cost.

You’ll explore why blind spots exist, how they show up under pressure, and the practical signals that tell you when one is running the show. Dex also explains why self-awareness alone isn’t enough — and how coaching (human and AI) can help you see what you literally cannot see on your own.

This is about leadership maturity, not self-criticism.

In this episode:

• A real leadership succession mistake — and the lesson it taught
• Why beliefs quietly limit leadership options
• How bias forms early and becomes invisible
• Common leadership blind spots (imposter syndrome, people problems, indecision, perfectionism)
• Why emotional reactivity is often the clue
• How coaching helps rewire outdated beliefs
• Where AI coaching helps — and where it doesn’t
• Practical AI prompts to surface blind spots fast

Practical prompts mentioned:

• “What am I not seeing in this situation?”
• “How can I identify my leadership blind spots?”
• “What’s an effective next step with this team member?”
• “How can I resolve this conflict without sacrificing my deadlines?”
