006: Why Your Team Doesn’t ‘Get It’ (And How to Change That)

Ever feel like your team just doesn’t “get it”? Like no matter how many times you explain your vision, ask the “right” questions, or try to bring them up to your level of thinking, they still don’t see it?

You’re not alone. And you’re probably making the same leadership mistake that so many driven leaders make: trying to get your team to think like you.

It makes sense—you’ve got the experience, the big-picture perspective, and the strategic mindset. But here’s the hard truth: The more you push for agreement, the less ownership your team takes.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

🔥 Why trying to lead your team’s thinking often leads to hesitation, inaction, or poor execution
🔥 The subtle (but huge) difference between real perspective-shifting questions vs. leading questions
🔥 How to create an environment where your team expands their own thinking—without you forcing it
🔥 Why this is the more courageous way to lead (and how it builds long-term trust & accountability)
🔥 A simple shift you can start using TODAY to unlock deeper, more strategic thinking in your team

If you’re tired of wondering why your team doesn’t follow through, even after it seems like they’ve bought in, this episode is for you. Hit play now and start leading in a way that actually works.
