A leader explains why high performance matters for your goals: it expands your bandwidth so you can take on more without burning out. Loneliness at the top comes from losing peer connection, but managing your extra capacity responsibly keeps your personal revolution moving forward.
When you hear the phrase it's lonely at the top of a leadership structure or an organization, it's because people lose that sense of peers or sense of community that helps people feel great about themselves. When you're able to figure out your high performance, you have more bandwidth to take on more responsibility. And you're able to do so in a way where you don't feel like you're burning the candle at both ends. So without burning out. Because there will always be more that we can do. There's more that we should do, there's more that we could do. But at the end of the day, if we're not attuned to take on that extra capacity, that extra responsibility, those extra obligations that are important to our personal revolution, then we're gonna. Eventually, we will stop.
