Episode Details

When leaders are unhappy at work, they often blame the company. But more often it’s a sign of dissatisfaction with their own inability to work within the constraints of the job. 

No job is perfect. Every role comes with constraints: things that stop you from operating at your best. 

Whether it’s a bad boss, a lack of resources, or unrealistic expectations, the question isn't whether your job has constraints: it's whether or not you can live with them.

If you don’t proactively manage the constraints then, over time, you might not like who you have to become to function in your role.

In this episode, I reveal the difference between genuine constraints and the artificial constraints; I explore the symptoms of unhappiness at work; and I give you three critical mindset shifts that will pull your focus off the daily grind and onto the long game, and get back to peak performance.
