Listen "EP 28: 5 Habits That Sabotage Your Leadership (And How to Break Them)"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Leadership and Love Podcast, host Louie Sharp unpacks five toxic habits—complaining, blaming, gossiping, making excuses, and justifying—that sabotage effective leadership and personal growth. With candid insights and practical reframes, Sharp urges listeners to take responsibility, reframe challenges, and lead with greater emotional intelligence. Highlighting the Jack Canfield formula “E + R = O” (Event + Response = Outcome), he emphasizes that while we can't control what happens, we can always choose how we respond. Whether you're a seasoned executive or an aspiring changemaker, this episode offers a powerful roadmap to eliminate self-defeating patterns and lead with clarity, compassion, and purpose.
