Is it or isn't it? Where do you actually hear people say things like, "It's too much for me" or "Honestly, I'd better not open up"? Hardly ever—it all seems so easy, or rather, there's "always so much to do," "it's difficult"—and yet you've "got everything under control."

My experience, in fact, is this: yes, leadership can be very, very lonely. Even when you have good colleagues, a team, or a loving home, many things remain unspoken, undiscussed, and unreflected upon. This may be due to tactical considerations or out of consideration for others—or simply because the other person isn’t involved and therefore can’t keep up (quickly enough). I think this restraint often happens unconsciously and then, little by little, becomes the norm.

As a result, they get deeply caught up in their own thoughts and end up stewing in their own soup—or their own endless world of thoughts. I would argue that this is precisely the reason why leaders become incredibly exhausted, drained, and—without wanting to overuse the term—burned out. I see fantastic, capable, dedicated people who are confused, tired, sleepless, and so on.

The good news: There is a way out! Working specifically with a coach of your choice brings “breathing room” to your thoughts, brings clarity, and brings a sense of security. And much more: your own strength returns, bit by bit. There are very good—even outstanding—coaches who are trained to quickly grasp the situation, to serve as guides for this specific issue while remaining objective, and who view the confidentiality of information as a professional ethic just as a doctor or lawyer does. The only important step is to contact one of them and schedule an appointment.

What could stand in the way? Stubbornness—along the lines of “I have to do this on my own.” Or arrogance—“no one knows this better than I do, or can help me with this.” But those are other topics…
