045: How Great Leaders Empower Without Micromanaging
Send us a text
What if the key to being a great leader isn’t about control, but about letting go? In this episode, we break down the leadership parallels between coaching young athletes and managing high-performing business teams—and why micromanagement stifles growth.
We explore the "joysticking" effect—when leaders hover too closely and unintentionally hold back their team. Instead, the best leaders empower decision-making, reflection, and ownership, whether on the field or in the boardroom.
🏆 Learn why debriefs & self-reflection are game-changers for long-term growth.
🏆 Discover the leadership strategies that build accountability without micromanaging.
🏆 Get real-life coaching insights that apply to sports, business, and leadership at every level.
Are you leading with trust or control? Tune in now to find out. 🎧
