Mama Bear Leadership & More From Kristin Haluch

from Productive Joy · host Dr. Christie McMullen

In this Productive Joy recap, Dr. Christie highlights Kristin Haluch and her book Mama Bear Leadership, inspired by the “mama bear” instinct to protect and support others in both parenting and the workplace. The episode emphasizes human-centered leadership—prioritizing caring for people rather than focusing only on productivity—while curating and improving your leadership style through learning, exposure, and practice. Dr. Christie notes that leadership is shaped by personal circumstances and warns against getting stuck in “the way we’ve always done it,” which blocks innovation and improvement. As the year reaches its midpoint, listeners are encouraged to embrace change, recognize that change can mean better, and take action by doing something differently today.email Dr. Christie at [email protected] to share what they’re facing and seek support.Episode Highlights:00:00 Welcome and Recap Setup00:07 Mama Bear Leadership00:44 Human Centered Leadership01:05 Curate and Grow Style01:54 Circumstances Shape Leaders02:38 Avoid Status Quo Trap03:38 Midyear Reset and Change04:24 Take a Nugget and Reach Out04:52 Turn Fun Into Action
