Executive Loneliness: Nick Jonsson

In this edition of The Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata and Nick Jonsson,Managing Director of Executives' Global Network & Ironman (EGN), discuss the issues that led him to write the book 'Executive Loneliness'. As an ex-pat he relied on the company to support him and when he lost his job he became isolated, was insecure, anxious and angry. Nick explains how he realised he needed to be less reliant on the company. At work he didn't share with anyone and he conducted a survey that showed that this was general in a senior executive position; you don't ask for help showing vulnerability. Nick shares his advice on how to overcome this problem with support groups such as mastermind groups.
