Description

What if your burnout isn’t about the workload but the way you lead?

In this episode of Bad Bosses, Great Leaders, I sit down with Eric Williams, founder of Willity, to unpack the invisible decisions that make or break great leadership.

 Eric shares the common traps even experienced managers fall into, including why most delegation efforts fail, how unspoken expectations sabotage teams, and what it really means to build a high-performing culture.

We discuss:

  • The difference between delegation and abdication
  • How instinctual leadership leads to inconsistent outcomes
  • What the “spiral” of burnout looks like—and how to climb out
  • Why values and context matter more than SOPs
  • How to model the behavior you want without losing your boundaries

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the bottleneck, this episode will help you unpack why—and what to do about it.
