    The Relationship Across the Hall Is Running Your Company | Morag Barrett | TLAL #038

    Send us Fan Mail Most leaders spend their energy managing up or managing down. The relationship they almost never invest in is the one across the hall — the peer who can quietly stop your project from moving forward without ever saying a word. Morag Barrett is the founder of SkyeTeam, executive coach, and author of Cultivate and You, Me, We. She spent years in commercial finance watching which companies survived downturns and which ones didn't — and the differentiator was never the spreadsheet. It was the quality of relationships between people at the same level. In this episode she breaks down why horizontal relationships actually run a company, how to make the implicit explicit before unspoken assumptions become resentment, and what the listening tour looks like for every leader stepping into a new role, a new team, or a new quarter. If you have ever had a peer quietly undermine a project you were leading, this is the episode. 📞 Book a 45-minute Clarity + Control Call: meetwithdorian.me  🧠 Free Overwhelm Check: go.thinklikealeaderpod.com  📋 Free Weekly Reset Tool: weeklyreset.thinklikealeaderpod.com Connect with Dorian: → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mr.albritton/ → LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dorianalbritton → Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1JeHqK29Vy/ → Podcast: www.thinklikealeaderpod.com PodMatchPodMatch: A platform to connect podcasters with perfect-fit guests or hosts, saving time.  Support the show

This conversation is for fathers, coaches, mentors, educators, and leaders who care about developing the next generation. If you want young men to rise, you cannot only give them motivation.

    How to Rebuild Self-Trust When You Keep Breaking Promises to Yourself | TLAL #036

    Send us Fan Mail In this solo episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian breaks down why self-trust starts to erode when you keep making promises to yourself and failing to follow through. This is not about being lazy. It is about the repeated gap between what you said you would do and what you actually did. Dorian explains how self-trust is rebuilt through evidence, not emotion. If you want to trust yourself again, you need smaller commitments, clearer standards, and a system for closing the loop instead of carrying another unfinished promise into tomorrow. 📞 Book a Clarity + Control Call with Dorian If you’re tired of feeling busy, scattered, and inconsistent, this call is designed to help you get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck, what needs to change first, and how to start rebuilding self-trust through better standards, structure, and follow-through.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian talks with Kelly Schuknecht about building a personal brand when visibility feels uncomfortable. They unpack why many capable professionals avoid being seen, how consistency builds trust, and why personal branding is less about performing online and more about making your value easier to recognize. This conversation is for the person who knows they have something to say but keeps overthinking the post, the video, the message, or the next step. You do not need to become loud to build a brand. You need clarity, repetition, and the discipline to show up before you feel fully ready. 📞 Book a Clarity + Control Call with Dorian If you’re tired of feeling busy, scattered, and inconsistent, this call is designed to help you get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck, what needs to change first, and how to start rebuilding self-trust through better standards, structure, and follow-through.

    How to Stop Carrying Everything and Lead With Real Humility | Annette Wehrli | TLAL #034

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian sits down with Annette Wehrli to talk about ego, humility, and the pressure leaders feel to carry everything themselves. They explore what happens when leaders confuse responsibility with control, why “taking off the cape” can make you stronger, and how humility creates room for better leadership. This episode is for the overloaded professional who has become the fixer, rescuer, and default problem-solver for everyone around them. Real leadership does not require you to carry every burden alone. It requires enough self-awareness to know what is yours, what is not yours, and what needs to be shared. 📞 Book a Clarity + Control Call with Dorian If you’re tired of feeling busy, scattered, and inconsistent, this call is designed to help you get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck, what needs to change first, and how to start rebuilding self-trust through better standards, structure, and follow-through.

    How to Earn Real Engagement From People Who Feel Overlooked | John Guaspari | TLAL #033

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian talks with John Guaspari about why employee engagement fails when leaders treat it like a program instead of a relationship. They discuss respect, trust, empowerment, and why people disengage when they feel unheard, unseen, or treated like a resource instead of a human being. This conversation is for leaders who want people to care more but may need to ask whether they have created the conditions for care to show up. Engagement is not demanded. It is earned through clarity, respect, consistency, and the daily experience people have under your leadership. 📞 Book a Clarity + Control Call with Dorian If you’re tired of feeling busy, scattered, and inconsistent, this call is designed to help you get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck, what needs to change first, and how to start rebuilding self-trust through better standards, structure, and follow-through.

    How to Build a Culture People Actually Feel and Follow | Matthew Person | TLAL #032

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian sits down with Matthew Person to talk about culture as something leaders design, reinforce, and tolerate every day. They discuss why culture is more than a vibe, how standards become visible through behavior, and why small problems become normal when leaders refuse to address them. This episode is for leaders who want a better culture but need to look at what their current culture is rewarding. Culture is not what is written in a slide deck. Culture is what people experience, repeat, and believe they can get away with. 📞 Book a Clarity + Control Call with Dorian If you’re tired of feeling busy, scattered, and inconsistent, this call is designed to help you get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck, what needs to change first, and how to start rebuilding self-trust through better standards, structure, and follow-through.

    The 4 Selves Running Your Life and Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging | TLAL #031

    Send us Fan Mail In this solo episode of Think Like a Leader, Dorian breaks down the four versions of you that often compete for control of your life: the version that wants better, the version that avoids discomfort, the version that reacts under pressure, and the version that has to live with the consequences. This episode is for anyone who keeps asking, “Why do I keep doing this when I know better?” Self-sabotage becomes easier to interrupt when you stop treating yourself like one simple personality and start noticing which version of you is making the decision in the moment. 📞 Book a Clarity + Control Call with Dorian If you’re tired of feeling busy, scattered, and inconsistent, this call is designed to help you get clear on what’s really keeping you stuck, what needs to change first, and how to start rebuilding self-trust through better standards, structure, and follow-through.
