About this listen
What if you prepared thoroughly, acted decisively, and still couldn’t control how things unfolded?
In this episode of Echoes from the Peake, Frank Mills explores the tension leaders rarely admit: the belief that discipline and competence should guarantee results. But leadership offers responsibility, not certainty. Effort influences direction, it does not command reality.
This reflection examines the subtle shift from control to standard, and why anchoring identity to outcomes creates fragility under pressure. When uncertainty appears, the question isn’t whether you can eliminate it. The question is what remains steady when outcomes move beyond your reach.
Influence is real. Control is limited.
Clarity is what holds.#echoesfromthepeake
