In this session of Leadership Therapy, Dr. Jodi Blinco challenges leaders to move past outward blame and embrace radical self-accountability by trading the standard executive checklist for a mirror. Exploring the immense dual responsibility of driving bottom-line profitability while protecting the livelihoods and daily experiences of human beings, Dr. Blinco unpacks how true leadership is an inherited gift rather than a simple resume accolade. Moving beyond performative corporate buzzwords, she shares a pivotal, career-defining moment from her own past where her boss challenged the stark division between her rigid office persona and her lighter, authentic self. By urging leaders to ask the ultimate litmus test—if you sat in your team's seat, would you give 110% to you?
