Description

What was it all for?


You've shared the vision, trained the team, and gave them everything they needed to succeed.


And they still aren't following through.


In part two of this raw coaching series, Daniel—a high school principal—continues to wrestle with this leadership challenge. What starts as a reflection on stalled execution becomes a deep reckoning with busyness, control, and the fear of leading in a way that might cost you your people.


If you’ve ever felt the weight of being ultimately responsible for the outcomes and still coming up short then this episode is for you.


Ideas we explore: 

01:20 — Why your team might be slow to act 

06:10 — What gets lost when you rush connection 

10:40 — How busyness is shaping the way you lead 

14:00 — The fear of being truly seen 

18:00 — What it actually takes to change a leadership habit
