Lead by Following: Transformative Leadership Strategies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Heather McGonigal and Barbara Schindler open this conversation with an idea that sounds backwards until you sit with it. Real authority, the kind that actually builds team performance, comes from following your team instead of running ahead of them. When you hold decision-making power on a project, in a department, or across an entire company, the instinct to speak first and set direction fires almost automatically. This episode pulls that instinct apart and hands you something better to do inst
This Can't Be Normal: Chanie Wilschanski on the Invisible Weight of Leadership (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Barbara sits down with Chanie Wilschanski, a mom of four, leadership advisor, and founder of Schools of Excellence.

That separation isn't a problem you solve once. It's a gap that keeps shifting, and CEOs who ignore it end up either forcing per
The Power Shift: Embracing Team Authority for Entrepreneurial Success (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For decades the model was simple. One brilliant leader sits at the top, holds every answer, and the team waits for direction. Heather McGonigal and Barbara Schindler open this episode by naming exactly why that model breaks down in a business moving at today's pace.

Barbara shares a coaching story about a team member who owned the leadership meeting agenda on paper but kept getting over
