If you’ve ever looked around at your team and thought, Why don’t they care as much as I do? – you’re not alone. A lack of employee engagement is showing up across all types of industries. Often, it’s a sign of missing connections, unclear expectations, and leadership that’s unintentionally out of sync.

The good news? You can fix it. But it starts with you.

In this episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, Theresa Cantley is explaining why so many employees and teams are disengaged, what old leadership methods aren’t working anymore, and what to do today to increase your team’s engagement.

What’s one quality that makes a truly great leader? It’s not perfection, or having all the answers. And it’s definitely not being a know-it-all.

It’s intellectual humility – the ability to admit you don’t know everything, to be open to new perspectives, and to surround yourself with people who complement your strengths.

In this episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, Theresa Cantley shares why intellectual humility might just be the best-kept leadership secret you’re missing, and how to embrace it to become a better leader.

Things to listen for:

• Why not having all the answers can be a strength [2:14]

• Why surrounding yourself with good people is essential [11:04]

• What can happen when you embrace different perspectives [16:14]

Have you ever heard of a snowplow manager? It’s someone who takes on all the work themselves. They load up their plate, power through tasks, and push everyone else out of the way in the process. At first glance, they might look like the ultimate team player – but in reality, this kind of behavior can quietly crush a team’s morale, turn into toxic productivity, and break the systems that keep a business running smoothly.

In this episode of The C-Suite Mentor Podcast, Theresa Cantley is explaining what this looks like, how it can affect your organization, and – most importantly – how to course correct if you see it happening.

Things to listen for:

• What a snowplow manager is, and how it leads to toxic productivity [1:04]
