Most leaders diagnose a stalled team as a motivation problem. It's rarely that.
In this episode, Brek breaks down the three forces actually driving disengagement on your team — Dreams, Drains, and Doubts — and why your normal motivation playbook misses all of them. Each force is different. Each one needs a completely different move from you as a leader. And if you don't know which one is active right now, you're not leading the problem — you're just managing the symptoms.
You'll walk away knowing how to ask the question almost nobody asks, how to name what you're noticing without shutting people down, and how to close a confidence gap without leaving your people more alone in the process.
Don't build the plan until you can name the problem. That's where this episode starts.
