  Leadership is Political | Part 3: The White Man Archetype

  Aug 12, 202626 minS1

  We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In this episode, Chisom looks at the archetype most workplaces are designed for. The same behaviour, ambition, directness, dissent, refusal to conform, is coded differently depending on who performs it. One person’s vision is another person’s attitude problem, and the line between the two follows race, gender, class, and proximity to whatever the organisation treats as its default. Chisom examines why the coding is not a perception problem but a power problem, how it determines who is developed and who is disciplined, and what it means that the same pattern operates in society, where the same dissent makes one person a statesman and another a threat to stability.

  Episode #63

  Leadership is Political | Part 2: The Values Gap

  Aug 5, 202634 minS1

  We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. Most organisations have values. Most of those values do not survive contact with pressure. When budgets tighten, when the market shifts, when someone powerful is challenged, the stated commitments to inclusion, openness, and psychological safety tend to collapse quietly, and the people who trusted them are left holding the cost of having believed something that was never operational. In this episode, Chisom examines why the gap between stated and lived values is not hypocrisy in the simple sense, it is a design that treats values as positioning rather than commitment, and pressure is what reveals which one your organisation actually built. Chisom looks at how the same pattern operates in governments and founding documents, and she ask what each person inside these systems, leaders, the people in the middle, and the people with the least formal power, can actually do when the values they were promised stop being true.

  Episode #62

  Leadership is Political | Part 1: What People Recover From

  Jul 29, 202627 minS1

  We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. People carry the cost of poor leadership long after the work is done: self-doubt, burnout, diminished confidence, the slow work of rebuilding trust in their own judgment. We call it personal struggle. It is not. It is the uncounted cost of a system that measures leadership by what it achieves and never by what it leaves behind. In this episode, I ask why leadership was stripped of its political character, reduced to skills and competencies and communication styles, and who that reduction serves. I look at why a hundred-billion-dollar industry has never built a tool that measures what people have to recover from after being led. And I make the case that leadership is political, not because it involves parties or ideology, but because every leadership decision distributes power, consequence, and cost, and the refusal to see it that way is itself the most effective political act of all. This episode is for the leader who has never been asked to account for what their decisions produce in people. For the person in the middle, absorbing pressure from above and administering it below, whose discretion has never been called power. And for the person without formal authority who has been told their recovery is their own project. Leadership is Political is a new series on Overnight Wisdom. New episodes weekly.

  Episode #61

  Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 12: The Accurate Name

  Jul 22, 202638 minS1

  We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Chapter 12, the final episode of this part of the series, Chisom returns to Chapter 1 and settles the word. She traces white supremacy to a defeated colonist of Saint-Domingue who in 1802 called it an axiom while the enslaved were beating France, and to the indemnity France then imposed on Haiti, paid for a hundred and twenty-two years. She shows what the word does: it flatters, it turns a crime into an opinion, and it lets you believe the thing is receding while the beneficiaries are alive and being paid. Then she holds the record against the statutes the accused wrote themselves, element by element, and finds it meets the definition of terrorism, with the one failing element, illegality, failing only because the perpetrators wrote the code. She defends white as the name of the design, since the operators are no longer only white and Europe never left, refuses the retreat to greed, and keeps the promise made in Chapter 4 with a reparations section built from the archives, because reparations have already been paid, repeatedly, to the wrong people. It closes where Chapter 1 closed. You cannot dismantle what you will not name.

  Episode #60

  Stop Calling It Supremacy — It’s Terrorism | Part 11: Your Reckoning With The Machine

  Jul 15, 202640 minS1

  We'd love to hear from you. Send us your questions, comments, and suggestions. In Chapter 11 of the series, Chisom turns the diagnosis onto the reader and refuses the question they arrive with. “What can I do to fix this?” is a trap, because its only honest answer is that you cannot, and the despair is what the structure needs. She replaces it with the question that cannot be escaped, “what am I going to do given that I cannot fix it?“, and closes the three exits, paralysis, heroism, and purity. Then she goes first, Nigerian and Norwegian, extracted-from and beneficiary, paid by the institutions she indicts, refusing to resolve whether that makes her the leverage or the alibi. From there come the three questions she hands the reader, identity, context, and power clarity, and the ask that follows, which is smaller and harder than anyone wants: stop laundering it. The structure does not run on monsters. It runs on ordinary people doing ordinary jobs and declining to look at what the job is for. It ends without comfort and without despair, on the fact that you will probably not see this work finished, that it works anyway, slowly, and that the better world does not make itself, it gets built by ordinary people making ordinary decisions, pointed in the direction of a safer and more dignified world for all Support the show ----------------------------------- ✨ On Overnight Wisdom , new solo episodes drop every Wednesday, with occasional guest and solo conversations released on Sundays.
