Would You Sign Your Name to It?
2026-10-27
An anonymous letter to a new CEO started making its way around a Fortune 50 company. It wasn’t trashing anyone. It said exactly what people were already feeling, and they couldn’t stop forwarding it.
That isn’t office gossip. When people pass something like that along, they’re trying to get their view in front of someone who can change things. That’s a negotiation.
It also raises a harder question about what happens to trust when everyone is quietly waiting for the top to fix it. And if you were the one writing that letter, would you sign your name to it?
In this episode, I’ll cover:
Find out why most executives keep problems from reaching the top
See what wait-and-see mode does to the way leaders listen
Learn the part you play in culture, even when you don’t feel in control
