In today’s episode, we’re talking about a leadership shift every growing leader must make: moving from building a team that simply executes tasks to building a team that thinks, anticipates, and leads alongside you. If you’ve ever felt like everything flows through you or that it’s faster to just do it yourself, this episode is for you.


We explore why execution-only teams happen (and why it’s usually not your team’s fault), how leaders unintentionally become bottlenecks, and what it takes to empower people to problem-solve, take ownership, and grow.



What You’ll Learn:

  • Why execution-only teams limit leadership growth and capacity
  • How shifting from telling to coaching builds confident, capable thinkers
  • The five leadership shifts that help teams anticipate problems and lead independently


Key Takeaways:

  • Teams rise to the level of thinking they are invited into, not expected to reach
  • Leadership isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating thinkers
  • Your team cannot grow if you don’t learn how to let go


Call to Action:


This week, pick one team member and resist the urge to give them the answer. Instead, ask, “What do you think?” Coach instead of correct, and notice what happens. If this episode resonated with you, consider leaving a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify so more leaders can find and benefit from these conversations.


Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.
