Episode 3 of Leadership Spot Check explores the concept of leadership dissonance, where a leader’s actions, values, and communication fail to align with their team’s expectations or experiences. Using relatable examples, Ryan highlights how dissonance manifests through incongruent values, emotional inauthenticity, hypocrisy, and fractured communication, all of which erode trust and effectiveness. He encourages leaders to reflect on their own practices and introduces tools to help address these misalignments, setting the stage for a deeper dive into the root causes of dissonance in the next episode.
