🎙️Why being in the room isn't enough

🎖️ Getting invited into the meeting is an accomplishment, but it isn't the finish line.

Many leaders spend years working toward a seat at the table, only to discover that simply being present doesn't guarantee influence. The leaders who consistently shape decisions don't just bring information, they bring perspective.

In this episode of Command 2 Corporate, I explore the concept of leadership altitude and why the way you think is often more important than the position you hold. You'll learn the difference between tactical, operational, and strategic thinking, why some leaders plateau in their careers, and how to elevate your perspective so your voice carries greater influence in every room you enter.

Whether you're an aspiring leader, a new manager, or an experienced executive looking to sharpen your leadership, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond today's tasks and focus on tomorrow's impact.

🎯 In this episode:

🔹 Why access doesn't automatically create influence
🔹 The difference between tactical and strategic leaders
🔹 Why some high-performing managers struggle to reach executive roles

"Leadership isn't measured by how often you speak. It's measured by the value you add when you do, but people also have to value you to listen."

🎯 Key Takeaways:

🔹 A seat at the table creates opportunity, but influence is earned through the value of your thinking.
🔹 Tactical leaders focus on today's work. Strategic leaders focus on tomorrow's impact.
🔹 The questions you ask often reveal your leadership altitude more than the answers you give.
🔹 Real influence comes from helping people make better decisions, not from speaking the most.
