You’ve built your career by being the best—delivering results, outworking the rest, and raising the bar. But now, something’s off. The team feels distant. Feedback is scarce. Turnover is rising. And collaboration feels harder than ever.

In this episode of The Coaching Fix, Rob Spooner explores what happens when your personal excellence starts working against your leadership success. Because the truth is: being great at your job isn’t the same as being great with people.

Rob dives into the hidden traps of top performers, the emotional intelligence gaps that sabotage leaders, and how to make the shift from execution to elevation. If you’re a new manager, a burned-out entrepreneur, or a high achiever wondering why your team’s not following your lead—this episode is for you.
