Jenny and Sarah lay down the leadership boundaries that keep their teams sane, their workdays functional, and their patience intact.

From bosses who brag about “open door” policies but vanish when the tough stuff hits, to leaders who think skipping lunch is a sign of commitment (spoiler: it’s not), they’re calling out the habits that quietly wreck morale, and the ones that actually build trust.

You’ll get:

• Boundaries that protect your time and your credibility
• How follow-through turns you from “just a manager” into a trusted leader
• HR horror stories about leaders who couldn’t manage a coffee order, let alone a team

Respecting your boundaries is the first step to getting anyone else to respect them too.

Highlights:
[00:02 ] “Non-negotiables” without the corporate handbook jargon
[08:15 ] When “availability” turns into a 24/7 leash
[19:45 ] The follow-up that shifted team trust overnight
[34:20 ] Why skipping lunch is a terrible leadership flex
[47:10 ] Red flags that scream “don’t follow this person”
