What if the biggest leadership opportunity you have… is you?

In this powerful Rebel HR Podcast replay, host Kyle Roed sits down with Doug Lennick and Chuck Wachendorfer, co-authors of Don’t Wait for Someone Else to Fix It, to explore how true leadership begins with self-leadership. Together, they unpack what it means to take ownership, make wiser decisions, and empower others to do the same — without waiting for permission.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • 🧭 The 8 Essentials of Self-Leadership: From knowing your real self to empowering others, Doug and Chuck share a blueprint for leading with purpose and integrity.
  • 💭 The Four-Step Decision Framework: Recognize, Reflect, Reframe, and Respond — a practical guide to overcoming emotional landmines, overconfidence, and bias.
  • The Power of Awareness: How tools like the freeze exercise can help you slow down, reflect, and align your actions with your values.
  • ❤️ Human-Centered HR: Why HR’s greatest impact comes from focusing on people, not processes — and how stress, when reframed, can become a tool for growth.
  • 🔥 Empowerment in Action: Why waiting for someone else to fix things is the enemy of progress — and how to become the kind of leader who inspires action in others.

Featured Guests:
👤 Doug Lennick — CEO of Think2Perform, thought leader in leadership and behavioral finance.
👤 Chuck Wachendorfer — President of Think2Perform, executive coach, and expert on values-based leadership.
