Description

Humans have a natural tendency to go all or nothing: either fully engaged or completely checked out, either totally into fitness or eating an entire pizza in 45 seconds, either saving every penny or emptying the bank account. In this episode, we challenge that mindset by introducing the concept of levers versus dials. Levers are simple: on or off. But dials give you nuance, flexibility, and control. Dials are harder to manage.
 
We explore why leaders need multiple dials and how knowing when to turn them up or down can transform team performance. From the employee perspective, we talk about how this approach impacts workload and engagement. Managers will learn how to fine-tune leadership behaviors for different situations. Executives will reflect on how dialing in strategy creates sustainable success.
 
Because leadership isn’t about flipping a switch.
