Episode 101: Do Your Own Dirty Work
This podcast episode explores why true leadership requires the emotional courage to handle difficult conversations directly rather than delegating them to others. We dive into the hidden costs of "pawning off" conflict—such as eroded trust and cultural rot—while highlighting how face-to-face honesty actually strengthens professional relationships.
Listeners will walk away with a practical framework for preparing for tough talks and the mindset shift needed to stop avoiding the "hard stuff" and start leading with integrity.
