Three Leadership Mistakes That Undermine Your Authority
Leadership isn't just about making the right decisions. It's about having the difficult conversations, earning trust, and showing up with confidence when it matters most.
In this episode, Michael answers questions from leaders who are facing challenges many of us eventually run into.
-What do you do when someone on your team isn't improving?
-How do you lead people who used to be your peers?
-And how do you walk into a room with confidence when everyone seems to be judging you before you've even spoken?
If you've ever struggled with any of those situations, this episode is packed with practical advice you can put to work right away.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- When it's time to put someone on a Performance Improvement Plan and why avoiding the conversation usually makes things worse.
- How to earn the respect of former peers after stepping into a leadership role.
- A simple routine you can use before any meeting or presentation to feel calmer, more confident, and more present.
- Why the first few moments of your presentation matter more than you think and how to make them count.
Leadership Challenge
Before your next meeting or presentation, don't jump straight into your content. Pause, get grounded, and think about what your audience needs from you. Then start with an opening that grabs their attention and sets the tone for the conversation.
