The Owner's Room: When You're More Frustrated Than You're Letting On
In this Owner’s Room episode of the Culture Focused Practice Podcast, I get into the messy stuff: what happens when you’re more frustrated than you’re letting on.
I talk about how hidden frustration shows up (for me it’s resistance and irritability), how it sneaks into meetings or silence, and why it almost always ties back to accountability. I share the leadership lessons that shaped how I carry frustration now, walk through my “intensity × duration” rule for deciding when to act versus when to ride it out, and riff on a scenario where accountability is missing in leadership. EOS makes a cameo, of course, because structure always matters.
