In this freestyle episode of The Book of Gaberock, I revisit Entry 1 — “The Dangerous Disease of the Distant Leader.” I share fresh reflections on what distant leadership really looks like in today’s fast-moving world and why staying connected to people is still mission-critical.
I also give a personal life update and talk openly about what’s been happening behind the scenes. This one is less scripted, more reflective, and straight from the heart.
🟦 Key Takeaways
Why “distant leadership” continues to impact teams today
How small habits help leaders stay genuinely connected
The importance of recalibrating your focus in busy seasons
A personal update on what’s shifting in my own life and work



Enjoyed the life update and analog leadership perspective. Best wishes to you and your family for the holidays... sushi for Thanksgiving! ;)
