POD-When the CEO Gets Sick: Leadership Under Crisis
About this episode
In this conversation, we explore:
What actually breaks inside a business when the CEO becomes unavailable
Why most founders avoid planning for illness or incapacity
The hidden cost of the “hero CEO” model
Business continuity and succession planning beyond slide decks
Transparency, communication, and trust during executive health crises
Why resilience must be designed into systems, not personalities
The uncomfortable questions every CEO should ask before a crisis hits
This episode challenges leaders to rethink resilience, responsibility, and what it truly means to build a durable organization.
