EP 105. 4 Tiny Habits That Will Make Your Life Easier as a Manager
Description
If you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or just stretched thin trying to keep up with your team - you’re not alone.
The good news? Small shifts make a big difference.
In this episode, I share 4 simple but powerful leadership habits that will help you reduce stress, save time, and build a more accountable, empowered team - without burning yourself out.
These are the exact tools I teach my VIP Leaders and use in my own leadership journey.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most managers are stuck in reaction mode (and how to get out of it)
- A habit to protect your focus and stop the notification chaos
- The game changing power of asking questions before giving answers
- How to build better boundaries (without dropping balls)
- Why cancelling 1:1’s quietly damages trust and what to do instead
These habits might sound small - but they compound. Implement just one, and you’ll start showing up more grounded, more strategic, and more respected by your team.
