Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs with Steve Cuss

Managing Leadership Anxiety: Yours and Theirs with Steve Cuss

Anxiety is something every leader deals with. The best leaders learn to recognize and manage it before it becomes contagious and spreads in their organization. In this episode, Andy Stanley and Steve Cuss explore why many leaders don’t recognize anxiety in themselves until it begins shaping their teams and culture. You’ll discover how false needs like control, perfectionism, and people-pleasing fuel reactivity—and why unmanaged anxiety is contagious. This conversation equips leaders with practical tools to respond with clarity, create emotionally healthy environments, and lead without transferring their anxiety to others.
