It was the quality of relationships between people at the same level.In this episode she breaks down why horizontal relationships actually run a company, how to make the implicit explicit before unspoken assumptions become resentment, and what the listening tour looks like for every leader stepping into a new role, a new team, or a new quarter.If you have ever had a peer quietly undermine a project you were leading, this is the episode.📞 Book a 45-minute Clarity + Control Call: meetwithdorian.me 🧠 Free Overwhelm Check: go.thinklikealeaderpod.com 📋 Free Weekly Reset Tool: weeklyreset.thinklikealeaderpod.comConnect with Dorian: → Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mr.albritton/ → LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dorianalbritton → Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1JeHqK29Vy/ → Podcast: www.thinklikealeaderpod.com PodMatchPodMatch: A platform to connect podcasters with perfect-fit guests or hosts, saving time.  Support the show
