Most Leaders Aren't Failing. They're Pretending. (with Anadel Alberti)

StartFragment A senior executive sat across from her and said the words most leaders only think privately. "It's just that I don't trust them." Anadel Alberti asked one question in return that exposed the real problem in less than ten seconds. "Do you trust yourself in the work that you're doing?" That question is the spine of two decades of executive coaching, three certifications, and one company built on the premise that human-centered leadership has gone quietly missing inside organizations of every size. The teams feel it. The culture absorbs it. And the ROI on every other initiative bleeds out before anyone notices. In this episode of the Legacy and Longevity Podcast, host Zach Dancel sits down with executive coach, leadership strategist, and Audaciously Authentic founder Anadel Alberti to unpack what happens when leaders stop pretending and start trusting themselves. Anadel shares: Why human-centered leadership disappears the moment technical skills and ROI become the only measured priorities.How authenticity gets traded away early in a career and what it takes to recover it later.Why most leadership dysfunction traces back to one limiting belief about personal worth and enough-ness.How a broken trust cycle at the executive level silently spreads through every layer of a team.Why leaders who refuse to delegate train their teams to stop caring about the vision entirely.<p class="zw-list zw-paragraph heading0"
