NOTE

Exploring Escapism, Chronic Resentment, and Cognitive Dissonance in Leaders

Leaders should be mindful when escapism or chronic resentment become excessive, as they can indicate underlying issues that need attention. Escapism, seen as a coping mechanism, can turn problematic when it leads to numbing, distracting, or persistent fantasizing.

Consistency in problematic behaviors and feelings over time may necessitate seeking help from a therapist or a safe space for discussion.
