Hello and welcome to Episode 270 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

Today we’re talking about how to shift from Chaos to Clarity with Small Shifts That Make a Big Impact on Your Team.

We start with discussing why big changes aren’t the answer. Most business owners think they need more systems, a full restructure or to hire a unicorn when things aren’t going to plan with their team. Often it’s not a structural problem — it’s a leadership rhythm problem.

So I’m sharing 3 small shifts that can have a bigger impact than one big change.

1. Shift #1: Get Clear on Roles
2. Shift #2: Introduce a Weekly Rhythm
3. Shift #3: Set and Share Expectations Out Loud

These changes are not just shifting what you do — you’re shifting how you lead. These changes build trust with the team and remove their reliance on you.

Hello and welcome to Episode 269 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

Today we are talking about understanding your Boss Type.

Understanding this is something that most business owners overlook… and it’s the reason so many people feel like they’re constantly fixing things, chasing people, and wondering why their team still leans on them for every little decision. The way you naturally lead — your Boss Style — is either helping your team step up… or keeping them stuck.

Today we are going to unpack why knowing your style matters. Then I’m going to share the 4 Boss Type Profiles that I have developed after working with thousands of business owners and finally I’m going to share why I thought this was an important conversation to have.

This is not about changing who you are. It’s about leveraging your leadership superpowers and filling the gaps.

Hello and welcome to Episode 268 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In this weeks episode I’m chatting about why you might still find yourself doing everything – even though you’ve hired a team.

We start by looking at the common misconception we have that more people will immediately reduce our workload. In fact the opposite can be true. More people can often mean more work when we haven’t hired the right people, for the right roles, and created the right structure.

The key to having a business that delivers success and freedom to you, the business owner, is the right team (not just any team) and this includes the right team structure.

When we get that wrong – we end up building a team which has a dependency issue – a dependency on us. And this can sometimes be exacerbated when we are a natural control freak.

In truth, the real issue might just be us – not because we are intentionally sabotaging things, because this is new, this we need to learn, we are often modelling off poor examples, or big business – and it doesn’t work.

We need to learn to lead our teams, we need to learn how to be a boss. How we show up to lead our people is everything – but so often we are flying blind – because there isn’t a playbook.

So instead, we avoid structure and clarity because we think people want autonomy – and they do! But it’s a balance, our people also want to know what’s expected of them.

The consequences of these patterns going unchecked, when your team are dependent on you - you become the bottleneck: and that leads to a negative impact on business growth, personal burnout, and poor team morale.

It leads your team to feel micromanaged, and that stifles creativity, innovation, initiative – they end up being less autonomous, less productive and less willing to be solutions focused.​

So what’s the solution? It’s time to level up as a boss and leader. Create structure, provide clarity, become the ‘boss’ that your team want you to be.
