You landed the leadership role you thought you wanted, but now you’re questioning everything. In this week’s episode of the Launch Point Leader Podcast, hosts Lori May and Beau Noblitt respond to a letter from a listener who’s struggling with the reality of being a manager. The title sounded exciting at first, but the day-to-day? It’s leaving them unfulfilled and second-guessing whether leadership is the right path.
Lori and Beau unpack the emotional weight of leadership regret and offer practical ways to evaluate your role, reset expectations, and re-engage with purpose. Whether you’re new to management or simply in a season of doubt, this episode brings clarity, encouragement, and honest perspective about what real leadership looks like when it gets hard.
What You'll Learn:
✅ The difference between responsibility vs. requirement and how it reshapes your role
✅ Why stepping down isn’t a failure, and sometimes the strongest move is a pause
✅ How to reconnect with your “why” when leadership feels heavier than expected
🎙 Podcast Quote: "You can’t grow other people if you don’t grow you." – Lori May
