439 No More Mediocrity
Leaders, it’s time to stop lowering the bar. Mediocrity is not a strategy, and "good enough" is not good enough when you’re responsible for people, programs, and the future of our field. In this episode, Erica Saccoccio spills the real tea on why accepting less—from your team and from yourself—creates bigger problems than you think. We’ll dig into why standards matter, how fear of confrontation is holding you back, and what it really takes to set the tone for excellence in your workplace. Tune in if you’re ready to kick mediocrity to the curb and start leading like the boss you were meant to be.
