Not So Breakfast Show - Episode 214: Developing Your People (Without Losing Your Mind)
Ish and Sacha return from their international adventures (Chicago and Morocco, respectively) to tackle one of leadership's biggest challenges: how to develop your team without burning yourself out in the process. Is investing in people worth it if they might leave? (Spoiler: the alternative is worse!)
Plus, embracing "economy class" on their international flights, though Sacha (being tiny) had a much better time than Ish, who was squished next to "a big unit." Plus, Sacha has a mysterious foot infection that requires her to wear only one shoe. Just another day at the Not So Breakfast Show!
Main Topics
- Strengths vs Weaknesses - Why you should be "doubling down" on people's natural talents instead of obsessing over their shortcomings (with Sacha's brilliant dating analogy)
- Catch People Doing Things RIGHT - How to retrain your brain to spot the positive instead of fixating on problems (works with spouses and children too!)
- The Delegation Sweet Spot - Finding that perfect balance between challenging your team and completely overwhelming them with more than they can handle
Try the Coaching Default: Next time someone brings you a problem, resist the urge to solve it immediately and ask "What do you think we should do?" instead!

If you haven’t come across it yet, Working Genius is one of the simplest, most practical models I’ve seen for helping teams understand how they actually get work done. Not personality. Not fluff. Just clarity on where people thrive — and where they get frustrated.
If you’re planning your next team day, offsite, or work event, I’d love to bring this to your crew.
