In this episode of Wine After Work, Bryce Batts is joined by Rachel Burr, executive coach, leadership consultant, and expert in people and organizational dynamics.

Leadership is hard — not because leaders are doing it wrong, but because people are complex. And leaders? They're people too.

Rachel brings more than 20 years of experience working with leaders who stepped into management not because they were trained to lead people, but because they were exceptional individual contributors. In this conversation, we unpack why that transition is so challenging — and how leaders can develop authentic, effective leadership without forcing themselves into rigid, one-size-fits-all models.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why high performers often struggle most when they step into leadership
• The hidden people-dynamics that derail even well-intentioned leaders
• How self-awareness, values, and individuality drive better leadership outcomes
• What it really means to build high-performing, values-aligned teams
• Why leadership development must be human-centered to actually work

If you're leading people — or considering stepping into leadership — this episode will challenge how you think about performance, culture, and your own potential.
