Always On, Never Leading: Leadership Boundaries That Protect Your Energy

If you’re always on call, you’re never truly leading. In this episode, I share the price I paid for being available 24/7 — and two boundary moves leaders can use to prevent burnout, protect energy, and build team accountability.

Anchor Line:

If you’re always on call, you’re never truly leading.

Leadership Move:

1. Build an escalation ladder: decide what gets a text, what gets a call, and what can wait.
2. Protect your weekend with a strong out-of-office message.

Quote:

“Protect your energy, because that’s what fuels your leadership.”
