Ever been stuck between a boss who’s not pulling their weight and an organization that seems to expect 24/7 availability? You’re not alone.

In this AMA episode, I answer:

• How to correct a leader who isn’t doing their job when it affects your results.
• What to do when late nights and evening emails start eating into your family time.

We’ll explore the art of managing up, why boundaries are critical for sustainable leadership, and how you can navigate both challenges without burning bridges—or burning out.

Managing a team isn’t just about getting the work done—it’s about leading people, and people come with personalities, preferences, and past experiences. In this Ask Me Anything episode of Leveraging Operations in Leadership, we’re diving into two of the most pressing leadership questions:

So, you got promoted — now what?

If you’ve stepped into a leadership role and thought, “Why didn’t anyone prepare me for this?” - you’re not alone. In fact, research shows that 60% of new leaders fail within their first 18 months. Not because they’re not capable, but because they weren’t equipped.

In this episode of Leveraging Operations in Leadership, we’re digging into what really happens after the promotion. Because the truth is, promotion and preparation are not the same thing.

Whether you're leading your first team or trying to get your footing after a big step up, this episode will help you shift from just surviving leadership to leading with clarity and confidence.
