If you're exhausted, it might not be the workload—it might be the "game." In this episode, Tammy J. Bond exposes a common but toxic leadership trap: the environment where success is only explained after the fact. When rules change midstream and expectations shift without notice, even the strongest leaders begin to shrink back, second-guess their decisions, and over-explain their value.

Tammy challenges you to stop being a "survivalist" and start being a strategist. Learn how to identify when agility has crossed the line into "power without accountability" and discover why refusing to chase moving targets isn't quitting—it's a prerequisite for great leadership.

• The Moving Target Trap: Why "agility" is often used as a mask for a lack of clarity and a refusal to be held accountable.

• When Confidence Becomes a Liability: The psychological shift that happens when people can no longer predict what success looks like.

• The "Airplane" Example: A real-world look at how leaders negotiate away their authority by not being in the room where decisions are made.

• Adaptability vs. Self-Betrayal: How to set boundaries that protect your health and your team's momentum without being "difficult."

• The Proactive Reset: How to use "curious questioning" to force a pause and reset the rules of the game in your favor.

"You cannot win in an environment where success is explained after the fact."
"Adaptability without boundaries is actually self-betrayal."
"You don't lose authority overnight. You negotiate it away."

3. For Boundaries: What "moving target" am I currently chasing that I need to stop and name out loud?
