Leadership does not require distance from the work. It requires intention within it. In this MAC Moment, Melissa Chavez reflects on the balance between being in the work and leading the organization forward. As businesses grow, leaders often feel pressure to step away from day-to-day operations in order to appear elevated or authoritative. But complete distance can create disconnect. This episode explores the difference between being in the work and getting stuck in it. It is about understanding systems, seasons, and responsibilities without losing sight of the bigger vision. Leadership is not about avoiding the work. It is about knowing when to step in, when to step back, and how to guide the company forward with clarity. Where in your business do you need to lead with intention while still doing the work? In connection and intention.
