When Leadership Isn’t for You Anymore: Stepping Down Without Failing

Bob and ‪@josh_anderson_ftw‬ discuss what it means when you—or someone on your team—decides an organizational leadership role isn’t the right fit anymore. They separate formal leadership (titles, org charts, compensation) from the non-negotiable leadership of being a great teammate and influencer, arguing you can step away from a title but shouldn’t abdicate positive impact on the team. They emphasize anchoring on the joy and rewards of building teams, treating these transitions as rare in healthy cultures, and approaching them with humility, grace, and a focus on retaining valuable people while supporting the new leader.
