What happens when leaders stop trying to keep everyone happy and start making decisions anchored to purpose?

For many leaders, the pressure to be liked, avoid disappointment and find the "right" answer can make leadership feel heavier than it needs to be. But as Dr Dominique Meyrick shares in this episode, some of the most important leadership decisions come from being clear on your purpose rather than trying to please everyone.

This is what we talked about with Dr Dominique Meyrick, CEO of Financial Counselling Australia, on Top Five Movement's Leading Generous Teams podcast this week.

Dom's reflections on purpose-driven leadership, navigating disagreement and creating the conditions for others to thrive offer practical lessons for any leader working in complex, high-pressure environments.

In this episode:

• Why purpose beats people-pleasing when making difficult leadership decisions
• How to create the conditions for others to thrive without trying to have all the answers
• Practical ways to sustain yourself and avoid burnout while leading meaningful work
