In this episode of the Talent Sherpa Podcast, we challenge the age-old advice of “lead by example.” Inspired by Marcus Freeman’s perspective, we explore why this approach often falls short and why peer-to-peer accountability is essential for success—both on the field and in life.

We break down:

• Why “lead by example” players fail to create a culture of accountability.
• The power of peer-to-peer accountability in building trust, driving performance, and fostering resilience.
• How leaders can intentionally build a culture where teammates hold each other accountable.
• Practical steps to help your team find their voice and embrace accountability.

This episode is for leaders who want to go beyond passive leadership and create teams that challenge and elevate one another.
