Teams Follow Behavior, Not Intention

In this episode, leadership advisor and executive coach Dr. Julie Staggs joins me for a practical conversation about one of the most important realities of leadership: teams follow behavior, not intention. Drawing on her experience coaching executives and advising organizations across the corporate, nonprofit and higher education sectors, Julie explains why even well-intentioned leaders can struggle to build trust, accountability and strong cultures when their actions don't align with their aspirations. We explore the impact of assumptions, consistency and everyday leadership behaviors and discuss how leaders can close the gap between what they intend and what their teams actually experience.
