He explained the plan. Gave direction. Walked out thinking everything was clear. Then his assistant pulled him aside. “You really pissed those guys off.” That moment led to a realization many leaders eventually face:\nGood intentions don’t guarantee good leadership. Because leadership isn’t judged by what we meant. It’s judged by how our actions land with others.\nIn our conversation we explore:\nWhy good leaders sometimes damage relationships without realizing it\nThe disconnect that often exists between leadership and the front line\nWhy curiosity is one of the most underrated leadership skills\nThe three conversations that can transform how teams work together\n1️⃣ How are we showing up?\n2️⃣ What are the expectations?\n3️⃣ Where does accountability sit?\nSimple conversations.\nBut most teams never actually have them.\nIf you lead people — whether in manufacturing, healthcare, tech, or anywhere in between — this episode is a reminder that the real work of leadership isn’t control. It’s connection.\n🎧 Watch or listen here:\n [YouTube link]\nAnd a question for you: When was the last time you asked someone, “How am I showing up for you?”","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kDkFpX_U8xN4mpkRzl30lMyUBAsOu-vRJmAwdgX4Wig/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOGM3/ZjRhMTljYjY5OGJi/YmRmZTFkMTBjMzI2/YTBjNC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
