There's a question that shows up late at night, after the meetings and the messages, that no quarterly report can answer. Am I leading my people, or am I just pushing them?

Kathy Eastwood, an executive leadership advisor, joins Sana to unpack her E3 Leadership Code, a people-first approach that helps leaders deliver results without burning out the people they lead.

About the Guest:

Kathy Eastwood is an executive leadership advisor and the founder of E Equals Why. Drawing on decades in C-suite and global tech roles, she created the E3 Leadership Code and wrote a book of the same name on human-centered high performance.

Key Takeaways:

High performance isn't either-or; you can be demanding and genuinely care about people.
The E3 Code: Express a clear vision, Engage your people, Execute with discipline.
Emotional qualities are the glue; connecting to people's hearts is what drives the results.
When things slip, go back to basics: revisit the vision and check that people are bought in.
You can't lead others well until you know yourself; start the day with intention.
