Send us Fan Mail Some leaders sound amazing in meetings and still leave a trail of burnout behind them. Others build teams that trust them, take ownership, and grow into leaders themselves. We sit down with Christine O’Hara to talk about the difference, and why the “steady state” matters more than hype when your company is moving fast and the pressure is on. Christine connects ultra-endurance racing lessons from Moab 240 to modern leadership development: decision making under fatigue, staying emotionally regulated, and committing to a clear plan even when chaos shows up. We get practical about servant leadership in sales and in life, including how often to connect with your leaders, how to protect your calendar, and how to simplify priorities so you stop trying to do seven things at once. We also dig into coaching vs telling, why asking better questions creates better managers, and how high performers can get trapped by over-preparedness and the need to have all the answers. Then we flip it and name what poor leadership looks like in the workplace: low self-awareness leaders who say the right things but do none of it, and fear-based leaders who silence honesty and shape teams through manipulation. If you lead people, want to lead people, or are trying to survive a bad manager while keeping your standards high, this conversation gives you language and tools you can use immediately. If this helps, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with a leader who needs it, and leave a review with the leadership habit you’re working on right now.
