In this week’s episode of Claraty in Action, I’m joined by Dr. Lynise Green to explore the critical shift away from hustle-culture and toward what she calls energetic leadership. We break down the myth that more hours, more busyness, and relentless grind equal higher performance. Instead, we zoom in on the truth: quality of work + aligned energy + clear boundaries are what fuel sustainable growth and high performance. We dig into why so many professionals — especially leaders — are fighting burnout, and how the old narrative of “just push harder, grind longer” is not only outdated, it’s counterproductive. Dr. Green emphasizes that as a leader, your energy state matters. It’s not enough to have a plan or a vision; you must show up with the right energy, model boundaries, protect your capacity, and create the foundation that supports growth rather than undermines it. Key ideas we cover: Hustle = busy, not always productive; being busy isn’t the same as being effective.The bottom line grows faster when you build a foundation of aligned values, clear boundaries, and intentional energy, rather than piling on hours.As a leader you have a responsibility to model how you work: when you guard your energy, you enable your team (and yourself) to perform at a higher level.Many people mistake sacrifice and exhaustion for success — we reframe that: real success is rooted in clarity, focus, resilience, and yes, rest.Practical ideas for how to audit your energy, set stronger boundaries, protect what matters, and lead with presence and impact — not depletion. You don’t need to hustle harder, you need to hustle smarter, with energy aligned, boundaries intact, and impact prioritized.
