Whether you're leading a small team or an entire organization, chances are you've felt the weight of frustration—where nothing seems to stick, clarity is elusive, and results don’t reflect your effort.
Joining us on The Leadership Code is internationally recognized executive coach, author, and founder of The Oxley Group, Andrew Oxley. He’s worked with over 2,000 leaders across industries—from CNN and Cartier to TK Elevator and Progressive.
In his new book, The 4 Faces of Frustration, Andrew unpacks the four hidden dynamics that quietly sabotage leaders and teams.
We kick off with the fictional yet all-too-real story of Jack Staff, a new CEO thrown into chaos without a map. From there, Andrew walks us through each “face” of frustration, how to recognize them, and how to move forward with clarity, ownership, and traction.
Highlights include:
A practical framework for diagnosing and addressing invisible leadership breakdowns
Why some of the most dangerous frustrations are the quietest
How to turn frustration into forward momentum—not burnout
The role emotional intelligence plays in navigating ambiguity
Real stories from the field that illustrate what’s possible when leaders step into clarity
If you’ve ever felt stuck, reactive, or stretched thin—this conversation will leave you feeling seen, equipped, and ready to lead from a more grounded place.
“Frustration isn’t the problem—it’s the breadcrumb. It’s pointing to something deeper.” — Andrew Oxley
