The Leadership Lie That’s Holding You Back

Most people hear "vulnerability in leadership" and immediately think, No thanks. I’d rather lead with an iron fist and a poker face.

But here’s the problem—leaders who think they have to be bulletproof are the ones most likely to burn out, lose trust, and ultimately fail. The best leaders know when to drop the ego, embrace self-compassion, and actually connect with the people they lead.

In this episode of Masculinity Unmasked, we’re unpacking the biggest leadership myth with award-winning life coach Simon Tomkins. If you’ve ever thought, "I don’t have time for self-care" or "I can’t afford to slow down", this conversation is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why "toughing it out" is hurting your leadership and well-being
  • How self-compassion makes you a stronger and more effective leader
  • Practical strategies to prevent burnout and lead with impact

Join hosts Greg Styan and Max Wilson as they dive into the real cost of outdated leadership mindsets and how to break free from them.
