Burnout is breaking teams, and fake “self-care” isn’t saving them.
In this powerful episode of The MiddleGround Mic, host Joe Steagall sits down with Michael Dillard — global leadership speaker, retired U.S. diplomat, Army veteran, and author of Accidental Success and Build Generational Wealth.
They unpack what real leadership looks like in 2025: how to stop burnout before it starts, build teams that trust you, and connect financial confidence with performance. Dillard’s L.E.A.D. with Impact™ framework (Listen, Empower, Adapt, Develop) isn’t theory — it’s field-tested inside organizations and families alike.
