Do you think of “process” as boring, rigid, or suffocating? In this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, host Beth Fahey sits down with Lisa Gonzalez, EOS Implementer, lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, and co-author of Process: How Discipline and Consistency Will Set You and Your Business Free. Lisa shares her most cringeworthy leadership moment of secretly creating a six-inch binder of hyper-detailed processes that her team ignored, a project fueled by fear and perfectionism. She reveals the painful lessons behind costly missteps, why buy-in matters more than binders, and how compassion and progress over perfection can transform leadership.
