Mon 6/8 — What looks like dedication can be survival at scale
Much of what gets called "work ethic" in senior leaders is something else. I spent four decades in healthcare and federal leadership before I moved into coaching, and I kept seeing the same person across very different rooms. The executive who is always on it. Who carries more than anyone else on the team. Who never misses a thread. What looks like dedication is often a pattern that started long before the title did. By the time the corner office arrives, the leader has been reading rooms and absorbing pressure for years. The organization keeps rewarding the behavior. Their body keeps paying for it. High-conflict environments do not create this pattern...they activate it. If you are noticing this in someone on your leadership team, the performance conversation is not the one to have. There is a different conversation underneath it, and that is where the RECLAIM™ Leadership Framework starts.
