Seth emphasizes that true leadership requires a steadfast commitment to one’s vision and strategy, even when emotions run high. He shares strategies for navigating the emotional landscape that can emerge during unpredictable times, highlighting how unchecked emotions can cloud judgment and lead to reactive, rather than intentional, decisions.


Episode Highlights:

•Follow Your Plan, Not Your Emotions: Emotions should be seen as temporary signals, not reasons to abandon well-laid plans. Seth stresses the value of letting your plan guide decisions, not fluctuating feelings.

•Stay Transparent: Open communication with your team is essential, especially when facing challenges. Seth explains that sharing your own experience and recalibrating the plan together builds trust and unity.

•Curate Your Feed: What you consume shapes your mindset. Seth advises leaders to be selective about media and influences, ensuring they serve a positive purpose and help manage uncertainty.
