Why New Leaders Fail (It’s Not the KPIs) - Hidden Metrics with Nora Bouchard

Are you a newly promoted leader who feels unprepared for what leadership actually requires? Most new leaders think success is about hitting KPIs, driving performance, and proving competence. But what if the real work of leadership has nothing to do with metrics on a dashboard and everything to do with the metrics you never show anyone? I n this episode of Self-Leadership Lab, I sit down with executive coach and author Nora Bouchard to discuss her powerful concept of Hidden Metrics; the private standards we set for ourselves that shape how we lead, connect, and grow. We explore: • Why technical high-performers struggle when promoted • The difference between your team and your squad • The three core fears that drive toxic leadership • Why presentation problems are often confidence problems • How hidden metrics create authentic, sustainable leadership growth • The danger of chasing KPIs while neglecting self-leadership • Why connection, not competence, often determines promotion Nora shares powerful real-world coaching stories, including: • A VP terrified of presenting to executives • A top performer who couldn’t get promoted because “no one really knew her” • A sales leader who secretly mentored others against her boss’s direction This conversation goes to the heart of what we talk about on this show: If you don’t lead yourself first, you cannot effectively lead others. Hidden Metrics aren’t about abandoning performance. They’re about aligning performance with identity, values, and belief. If you’re stepping into leadership, or struggling in it, this episode will change how you measure success.
