Your Team Doesn't Need a Perfect Boss. They Need a Human One | Kristin Miller
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the most powerful thing you could do as a leader has nothing to do with strategy, systems, or having all the answers?
In this episode, I'm joined by Money Mindset and Life Alignment Coach Kristen Miller for a conversation that started in the comments of a LinkedIn post and was too good to leave there. This isn't a framework episode. There's no tidy checklist at the end. What there is is an honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation about what it actually looks like to show up as a whole person in your leadership role -- and why that's exactly what your team needs from you.
We talk about:
Why sharing the behind the scenes of your life makes you a more credible leader, not less professional
The leadership cringe confession -- what we both did early on that we'd never do now, and why talking about it matters
The real cost of hiding your humanity from your team, even when you think you're protecting them
The one question shift that gets you honest answers instead of defensiveness
Your team doesn't need a perfect boss. They need a human one.
