The Genius vs. The Genius Maker: A Leadership Shift That Will Change Everything

What if the way you’re trying to lead is actually the thing holding people back? In this episode, I’m challenging a leadership instinct most of us don’t even realize we have—the need to step in, solve, fix, and prove we know what we’re doing. It feels helpful in the moment… but it might be quietly capping the potential of the people around you. We’re talking about the difference between being the genius in the room and being the one who creates genius. Because the leaders who make the biggest impact aren’t the ones with all the answers—they’re the ones who know how to draw it out of others. If you’ve ever found yourself jumping in too quickly, filling the silence, or carrying more than you should, this one will hit. And it might just change the way you show up with your kids, your clients, your team—and honestly, anyone in your life.What You Will Hear in This EpisodeThe subtle ways high-capacity people become accidental diminishersA simple but powerful question: Do people get smarter or quieter around you?The “give the pen back” concept—and why it’s harder than it soundsHow the 10% talk / 90% listen shift changes everythingThe difference between addition vs. multiplication leadershipWhy helping can sometimes create dependence (and what to do instead)A quick self-assessment to check how you’re actually showing upHow to call people up into their potential—not unknowingly hold them backThe mindset shift that will make you more impactful in every room you walk intoLEAVE US A 5 STAR REVIEW!!!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-abundance-formula-podcast/id1343007048Related Links for Jeana OldhamInstagram: @jeana_oldhamFacebook: Jeana OldhamWebsite: https://oldhamstrong.com
