Nobody Wants To Be A Leader Anymore

from Leaders Leading Leaders · host John Espinosa

If you left tomorrow, who on your team would actually want your seat?In most rooms I stand in front of, when I ask people who wants to lead someday — nobody moves. And when I ask why not, the answers are never about ability. They're about cost. "I've seen what it does to my boss." "More headache, barely more money." "I like my life."Your team has been watching the job for years. And somewhere along the way, you wrote the job description without meaning to.In this episode I break down The Open Seat — three moves to change what leadership looks like from where your team is standing:Audit the Ad — what you say out loud about your own job IS your recruiting pitchShow the Other Half — narrate the invisible wins they never get to seeAsk Somebody By Name — the exact sentence, and why most people are just waiting to be askedPlus how this runs through the LEAD Framework — Listen, Envision, Align, Drive.
