    #13 The Power to Say "I Was Wrong"

    Episode 13: The Power to Say "I Was Wrong" Three words most managers are terrified to say. Three words that could completely change how your team sees you. Your team already knows when you've messed up. The only question is whether you're brave enough to admit it. In this episode, I break down why saying "I was wrong" doesn't make you weak—it makes you real. You'll learn: The real cost of never admitting mistakes (and why it destroys trust faster than the mistake itself)Exactly when you need to say it—and when you don'tThe 5-step framework for admitting mistakes without grovelingWhat happens to your team's culture when you get this rightWhy European corporate culture makes this harder (and how to do it anyway)This isn't about being perfect. It's about being honest. Your team doesn't need a flawless manager. They need one who deals in reality. Now you know. Because I told you.

    #9 Setting Objectives People Want to Achieve

    #9 Setting Objectives People Want to Achieve You start the year with clear objectives and good intentions. Everything looks aligned. Everyone agrees.And yet, a few weeks later, energy drops, priorities blur, and you find yourself pushing instead of being followed. Most objectives don’t fail because they are badly written. They fail because people never truly connect to them. In this episode, we unpack what managers are rarely taught about objective setting and why commitment matters more than clarity: Why objectives that make sense still don’t create ownershipHow managers unknowingly turn objectives into pressureThe hidden cost of too many priorities at the same timeWhy objectives disappear when they don’t show up in daily workHow to create focus without micromanagingWhat managers need to change before expecting real engagementThis isn’t about frameworks or performance systems.It’s about understanding how people experience objectives and how that experience determines whether they move forward willingly or resist silently. If you want objectives that guide your team instead of draining them, this episode is for you. #Leadership #Management #Objectives #GoalSetting #PeopleManagement #LeadershipPodcast #ManagerTips #WorkplaceLeadership #NewManagers

    #8 The Jealousy You Created (And How To Fix It)

    #8 The Jealousy You Created (And How To Fix It) You spend an hour coaching Maria through a difficult project. The next day, Daniel won't make eye contact. He's distant in meetings. Cold in emails. When you ask what's wrong, he says "nothing" - but you know exactly what's wrong. Your team members are competing for your attention because you made your attention valuable. And now they're freezing you out when someone else gets it. In this episode, we talk about the dynamic most managers create without realizing it and how to fix it: Why treating everyone "equally" is impossible and why that advice failsHow managers accidentally make their time and attention feel like a prizeThe exact script to name the pattern without forcing someone to admit they're jealousWhat your team actually needs when they shut down (it's clarity, not an apology)How to make your attention predictable and professional instead of specialThe boundary-setting conversation that validates feelings while requiring professional behaviorWhy you have to change first before expecting your team to stop competingThis isn't about managing difficult personalities or handling immaturity. It's about recognizing that you taught your team to measure their worth by your attention, and now you need to guide them out of that pattern with actual leadership instead of just telling them to "be professional." #Leadership #Management #TeamDynamics #PeopleManagement #LeadershipDevelopment #ManagerTips #WorkplaceLeadership #LeadershipPodcast

    #7 Master Your January

    "#7 Master Your January" You're back at your desk. There are 800+ emails waiting. Your boss wants Q1 plans. Your team looks present but feels distant. And you're already wondering why you're not hitting the ground running like you thought you would. Here's the truth: January isn't a sprint month. It's a setup month. And the managers who treat it like any other month are the ones scrambling by March. In this episode, we talk about the three-week strategy that builds real momentum instead of fake productivity: Week 1: Get your baseline clear - why asking questions matters more than announcing plansWeek 2: Talk to your people, really talk - how to understand actual capacity instead of wishful capacityWeek 3: Plan based on what's real - setting goals your team actually believes inThe conversation with your boss that changes everything (and why realistic plans make you look stronger, not weaker)Why foundation beats proof every single timeHow to build momentum that lasts through Q1 instead of burning out by FebruaryThis isn't about lowering your standards. It's about using January the way it actually works so you deliver results in March while other managers are still explaining why they're behind. Thirty minutes this week to rethink your approach could make your entire quarter. #Leadership #Management #January #LeadershipDevelopment #ManagerTips #TeamManagement #Q1Planning #LeadershipPodcast #NewYear #WorkStrategy

    #6 This Week Is Weird. You're Allowed to Feel Weird About It

    "#6 This Week Is Weird. You're Allowed to Feel Weird About It" It's December 29th. You're sitting at your desk. Your team chat is silent. Nobody's answering emails. You feel guilty for not working hard enough, but also guilty for not properly resting because you're technically still working. That's not work. That's not rest. That's just existing in limbo and feeling bad about it. In this episode, we talk about why this week is actually perfect for something valuable and how to use it: Why your brain is in reflection mode this week and fighting it is pointlessThe five questions to ask yourself that will change how you lead next yearWhat drained you most as a manager and how to protect yourself from itThe conversations you avoided that you need to have in JanuaryThe three promises every leader should make for the new year: hard conversations within 48 hours, protect your energy like it's gold, change your mind out loudWhy elaborate goal-setting fails and what actually creates clarityThis isn't about New Year's resolutions you'll abandon by February. It's about using thirty minutes this week to get real clarity that will guide you better than any corporate planning framework ever could.
