Leadership has a public version—and a private reality.
It’s the status report that says everything is “green,” while the team is quietly carrying risk. It’s the confident strategy leaders present on stage, followed by the uncertainty they feel when they sit back down.
That’s the gap we’re stepping into in Season 2 of Leadership Explored.
This season, hosts Ed Schaefer and Andy Siegmund are spending less time on textbook definitions of leadership and more time in the messy middle—where projects go sideways, communication breaks down, and leaders are expected to deliver results without burning themselves (or their teams) out.
If you’re looking for a leadership conversation that feels like the ones that happen after the meeting ends—when the real story finally gets told—join us.
🎙 Season 2 premieres February 10, 2026.
