Leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry joins Lara Schmoisman on Coffee N° 5 to unpack what real leadership looks like: responsibility, adaptability, and learning as you go. If you’re building a team—or building yourself as a leader—this one’s for you.

We'll talk about:

• Why leadership is not the same as being the boss
• The hardest shift: from doing the work to leading the people
• What “leading by example” really means—and when it backfires
• How to stay strategic without losing sight of the details
• What founders get wrong when they try to do it all
• Building a team culture that values initiative—not just output
• Why good leadership starts with reflection, not perfection
