Every year, business leaders set ambitious resolutions—delegate more, lead better, work less, grow faster. And every year, most of those goals quietly disappear.

In this episode of Spiraling Up, the team sits down with Dr. Josh Elmore, organizational scientist and executive advisor, for a live coaching conversation on why leadership resolutions fail—and how high-performing executives create change that lasts.

Rather than relying on motivation or willpower, Josh helps the hosts unpack the systems, incentives, and behaviors that shape real leadership growth. Through candid coaching, the episode explores delegation traps, visibility challenges, burnout, and how leaders can shift from being “the fixer” to building resilient teams.

This episode covers:

• Why New Year’s leadership goals break down
• How to replace willpower with systems and structure
• The hidden costs of always being the go-to problem solver
• What sustainable leadership change actually looks like
• Practical ways to design accountability into your role

If you’re entering the new year with big leadership goals—or trying to recover momentum you’ve already lost—this conversation offers a smarter, more sustainable path forward.
