EP 95. Red Flags To Watch Out For As A Manager

No one wants to be a terrible leader. But without realising it, even well-intentioned managers can start slipping into behaviours that erode trust, damage relationships, and impact team culture.

In this episode, I walk you through three red flags to look out for as a leader and how to shift them before they do real harm.

Whether you’re new to management or just want to check in on how you’re showing up, this episode will help you:

- Recognise where your leadership actions might not match your values

- Identify micromanagement and shift towards trust and autonomy

- Understand why avoiding tough conversations is risky and how to address issues early

- Reflect on your current habits and take steps to course correct when needed

I also share a personal moment of realisation in my own leadership and what I did to make things right. This is a short but powerful check-in episode for any leader who wants to build trust, respect, and real results.
