In Episode 55, we talked about:

Kicking off 2025 with a deep dive into "Leadership Cringe"—those awkward, ineffective leadership moments where actions don’t align with true character.
The importance of character development in leadership and why reading books and listening to podcasts alone won't make you a great leader without internal transformation.
The dangers of inauthentic leadership and how employees can sense when leaders are not genuine, which erodes trust, morale, and engagement.
Why "clear is kind" in leadership—setting honest expectations instead of relying on vague, feel-good platitudes.
The significance of authentic care for team members and how true influence comes from leading with integrity and emotional intelligence.
Practical steps to develop character as a leader, including self-awareness, receiving feedback, seeking therapy, and cultivating a safe space for growth and accountability.
Encouragement to reflect on leadership strategies—where they come from and whether they align with personal values and beliefs.
