EP 68. 5 Unintended Consequences to Be Aware Of

21 minutes

In this episode, I talk about how certain leadership behaviours can unexpectedly affect your team and your productivity.

These 5 unintended consequences are the 5 that I see most commonly in my group program (VIP Leaders) and my 1:1 clients.

These actions and consequences are encountered by so many leaders, regardless of their experience level.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

How quick responses might set unrealistic expectations for your availability and impact your workload.

The risk of being too accessible which can lead to team dependency, stifling their ability to solve problems independently.

The importance of delegating rather than doing, to create and nurture team growth to prevent personal burnout.

Recognising that avoiding tough conversations, or 'silent kindness', can lead to frustration and a toxic work environment.

This episode is for you if you’re aiming to lead with intention and avoid common behaviours that can subtly undermine your leadership effectiveness.

I’d love to hear how this episode resonates with you and if there are any other unintended consequences you’ve encountered in your leadership journey. Please feel free to reach out via Instagram or LinkedIn.

Also, if you know someone else would benefit from listening to this week’s episode, please pass it on.
