Is your iron grip on control helping or hurting your career? In this episode, we dive into why high achievers default to control, when it serves you, and when it's secretly sabotaging your success. Whether you're a recovering control freak or dealing with one, you'll get actionable strategies to shift from micromanagement to actual leadership.

  • The surprising truth about why control freaks are often the highest performers (and when that stops working)
  • Two types of control that matter in business - and how to master both
  • Battle-tested tactics to dial back your inner control freak without lowering your standards
  • A survival guide for managing up when your boss is a micromanager
