This week on Conversations, I’m diving into a leadership trap that’s easy to fall into — convenience.

If you want to build something that lasts, you can’t lead from what's easy. You have to lead from conviction. In this episode, I share 7 signs your leadership might be costing your team more than you realize, from dumping tasks and avoiding conflict to praising loyalty over development and staying busy without building anything of real value.

We’ll cover:

• Why “I trust them” is sometimes just avoidance

• How busyness often hides a lack of intentionality

• Why you can’t expect fruit from trees you’ve never watered

• The difference between managing and multiplying leaders

If you're tired of putting out fires, running on empty, and seeing shallow results, this episode is your leadership check-in.
