What happens when people start leaving your organization… and how should leaders respond?

In this episode of No Permission Necessary, Jill and Molly unpack the realities of navigating staffing changes and what it actually takes to lead through periods of transition.

From emotional reactions to miscommunication, they explore how leaders can maintain stability, trust, and clarity when teams are shifting.

This conversation dives into:

• Why employee turnover is often normal, not a failure
• The difference between loyalty and alignment
• How leadership requires regulating your reactions
• Why communication gaps create unnecessary tension
• The impact of unclear expectations in workplace relationships
• How to support people while still holding accountability

They also discuss how to handle departures in a way that preserves team culture and allows people to move on without resentment.

This episode offers a grounded look at leadership, change, and the importance of staying steady when everything around you feels uncertain.
