Leadership behavior is not a soft topic. It is a revenue lever. In this BizBlend Podcast episode, executive behavioral coach Debbie Longo breaks down how negativity, control and inconsistent leadership create hidden costs like turnover, low productivity and constant rework. Sana pushes past theory into real business impact. How leaders show up during pressure moments shapes culture, retention and performance. They also talk about AI at work. Not as a replacement for people but as a tool that needs smart communication and training to land well. If you want better profits, better teams and fewer “what is happening here” moments in meetings, start with the behavior patterns at the top.

About the Guest:

Debbie Longo is an Executive Behavioral Coach and Life Coach with 25+ years of experience. She hosts the podcast Behavioral Profit and helps business owners and leaders remove negativity, reduce control driven management and build workplaces where people can perform at a high level.

Key Takeaways:

• 
  

  Leadership behavior scales. Negativity at the top trickles through every role and shows up as missed deadlines, tension and stalled execution.

  
  


• 
  

  “Behavioral profit” means your culture either protects revenue or quietly leaks it through churn and low engagement.

  
  


• 
  

  The fastest lever is self-audit. Stop blaming employees first. Look at how you lead, communicate and react under pressure.

  
  


• 
  

  Control is expensive. When leaders override job expectations and shift rules by mood, trust drops and quitting spikes.

  
  


• 
  

  Consistency beats intensity. Teams perform better when expectations stay stable across days and personalities.

  
  


• 
  

  Training is a growth investment. Upskilling managers and new leaders reduces turnover and increases productivity.

  
  


• 
  

  Hard conversations work better when they start with clarity and respect. Lead with positives, then address gaps without public shaming.

  
  


• 
  

  Ask before assuming. Performance issues can hide personal crises. Curiosity improves outcomes and protects morale.

  
  


• 
  

  AI is a tool, not a takeover. Adoption succeeds when leaders present it confidently, train people and frame benefits.

  
  


• 
  

  Better people leadership drives better numbers. Retention, efficiency and customer focus improve when leaders fix the behavioral basics.
