Burned and Better

2 - Overcorrecting: The Price of Going 'Scorched Earth'


Listen Later

I’m discussing what happens when the leadership pendulum swings; when you go from no leadership at all to complete micromanagement.

I’ve been through this myself. I went from being an absent leader to going scorched earth and fully micromanaging my team.

I have experienced what happens when you lead from wounds instead of wisdom, and I can also tell you how I found a more balanced place to lead from.

 

In this episode we’ll explore…

 

  • What led me to overcorrect from being an absent leader to an overbearing one.
  • Where the desire for overcorrection often comes from.
  • The benefits of being able to correct your team in real time, and the downsides.
  • How I added structure and systems to better manage my team.
  • How my high standards and tendency to micromanage crushed the morale of my team.
  • The signs of unhealed leadership and how it impacts your team.
  • How I used micromanagement as a shield.
  • The greatest lessons my scorched earth season taught me.
  • Why it was so important to build the right culture for my business.
  • What learning to live in the gain helped me be more cognizant of.
  • What I started doing to build greater trust with my team members.
  • Why overcorrection is common (but not sustainable) in your leadership journey.
  • My gratitude for this experience and everything the pendulum swing gifted me.
  • How to know when it’s the right time to let go when a team member isn’t the right fit.
