Is your leadership model silently draining your team? 

In this episode of The Enlightened Executive, energy and culture expert Josh Allan Dykstra challenges the outdated belief that resilience means pushing through. Instead, he offers a new paradigm: designing work around energy flow, not just productivity. 

You'll learn: 

  • Why burnout is a design issue, not a personal failing 
  • The leadership reflex that keeps you stuck in overdrive 
  • How to build teams that are energized, not just efficient 
  • A practical roadmap to shift from exhaustion to alignment 

This conversation is a must-listen for any leader ready to build sustainable high performance, from the inside out.  

Listen now and explore how your leadership patterns may be working against you.
