Some leadership debates feel theoretical—until someone throws your own words back at you months later. This episode unpacks what happens when a simple remark becomes a mirror for how we understand responsibility, vision, and the work leaders are actually called to do.
ASMSA Executive Director Corey Alderdice explores the tension between vision and accountability, how a casual comment resurfaced with unexpected weight, and why the best leadership isn’t about choosing one over the other but learning to hold both with integrity. The episode reflects on stewardship, aspiration, and the quiet balancing act required of leaders who want their work to matter.
