Claiming the Gap: The Leader’s Power of Patience
Claiming the Gap: The Leader’s Power of Patience
Most leaders think of patience as waiting. But in leadership, patience is something far more powerful.
In this episode of Execution Insights™, Jim Huling shares the story of a senior executive under intense pressure—facing doubt from her team, her CEO, and even herself. Quick reactions were leaving scars, and her career was at risk.
What turned it around wasn’t speed, strategy, or spreadsheets. It was discovering the discipline of patience.
You’ll learn:
- Why patience isn’t passive waiting, but a discipline of readiness, timing, and commitment
- How Viktor Frankl’s famous insight—“Between stimulus and response, there is a space”—can transform your leadership
- Why rushing into decisions undermines trust, while claiming the gap builds clarity and steadiness
Three reflection questions you can use this week to put patience into practice
Patience isn’t weakness. It’s one of the strongest disciplines a leader can develop.
