EP139: Why Most Leaders Struggle with True Collaboration (And How to Fix It)
In this episode, I dive into the art of collaborative leadership with expert facilitator Marsha Acker. We discuss why leaders often struggle to create meaningful team conversations, how to balance collaboration with decision-making, and the dangers of "Collaboration Theater."
Marsha shares actionable insights on inviting opposition, improving team dynamics, and mastering the power of listening. Whether you're a business owner or team leader, this episode will help you build trust, foster real dialogue, and lead with confidence.
