S02E05 - Why Nice Leaders Create Messy Teams

Send us Fan MailMost leaders I meet are actually pretty decent people.They care. They want a good team. They don’t want conflict.And weirdly… that’s often where things start to get messy.Not because they’re doing anything wrong —but because of what they’re trying to avoid.This one’s about the everyday version of “nice” leadership…and how things like avoiding awkward conversations, keeping things a bit vague, or letting things slide can quietly create more work, more confusion, and more friction than anyone intended.If you’ve ever felt like your team should be running smoother than it is… this might explain why.This podcast is recorded on Wadjuk Noongar Country. I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land and pay my respects to Elders past and present.
