Summary

I Am Doing a Great Work
What to Remember When You’re Tempted to Come Down

Most leaders don’t quit.

They don’t resign or walk away dramatically.
They just slowly stop inhabiting the work.

In this episode of Execution Insights™, Jim Huling reflects on a quiet but consequential leadership moment—when capable, responsible leaders begin to disengage, not because they don’t care, but because it becomes harder to remember why the work matters.

Drawing on an ancient story with striking modern relevance, Jim explores:

  • What it means to believe you’re doing a great work
  • Why the most dangerous distractions often sound reasonable
  • How rest and renewal are meant to serve purpose—not replace it
  • And how leaders lose their way incrementally, not all at once

This episode is for leaders who still care deeply, but feel the pull to “come down”—to pause, disengage, or step back from work that once felt meaningful.

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re doing truly matters, this reflection will meet you right where you are.
