005: You Don’t Have to Be a Hard-Ass to Get Results: The Leadership Shift No One Talks About

What if the reason your team isn’t following through… is actually YOU?

You don’t have to be a hard-ass to get results. You don’t have to micromanage, crack the whip, or breathe down their necks. But if you’re constantly frustrated because things aren’t getting done the way they should, there’s a good chance your leadership approach needs a shift.

Most leaders think they’re delegating well. But if your team is waiting for instructions, dropping the ball, or coming back to you with half-baked solutions, something’s missing. And no, the answer isn’t “better accountability” or “stronger consequences.”

In this episode, we’re tackling the big mindset shift that will transform how your team operates—and make your job a whole lot easier. Because when you stop trying to control outcomes and start learning how to facilitate problem-solving, everything changes.

You’ll discover:

✅ The real reason your team isn’t taking ownership (hint: it’s not laziness)
✅ Why delegating tasks might be setting your team up to fail
✅ The dangerous leadership trap of “explaining more” and why it backfires
✅ How to get your team to think instead of just follow instructions
✅ A simple way to create momentum without micromanaging

If you’ve ever wondered, How do I get my team to take ownership and follow through—without being a jerk? this episode is for you.
