Description

Are you leading… or just managing?

A lot of managers today are functioning as followers — following the system, the checklist, the policies — and never stepping into the leadership their people actually need.

In this episode, we break down the eight essential insights that separate leaders from followers and give you five practical shifts to help your team thrive.

If you want your team to feel supported, aligned, developed, and empowered — this episode is for you.
