Even if you love your team, you might be asking yourself, “Is this as good as it gets?” Or maybe you feel stuck with the “B team.” Here’s a hard truth: if your team isn’t performing like you want, it might not be their fault. It might actually be yours—not because you’re a bad leader, but because you may be unknowingly creating 4 common roadblocks that hold your team back from becoming the A team.

In this episode of The Culture Keepers Podcast, I break down these 4 leadership habits that well-meaning leaders often fall into — and I give you practical steps to fix them this week. No guilt, no shame—just honest reflection and a roadmap for real growth.

You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Stop micromanaging and build trust, confidence, and ownership
✔️ Avoid rescuing your team and empower them to solve problems independently
✔️ Recognize perfectionism disguised as helpfulness and shift to constructive feedback
✔️ Delegate effectively to unlock your team’s unique strengths and free your time
