This episode dives into:

The difference between compliance and commitment

How fear-based leadership destroys trust, innovation, and retention

Why people don’t quit jobs — they quit managers

The hidden cost of bad leadership on morale, burnout, and organizational culture

If you’ve ever worked for a boss who ruled by intimidation, confusion, or ego — this episode will put words to what you already felt.

And if you’re in leadership?

Raw. Direct. Uncomfortable. Necessary.

🎧 Listen now if you’re done confusing power with leadership — and ready to talk about what real influence looks like.
