What if the real reason people stay—or leave—has nothing to do with pay, perks, or projects… but everything to do with how they’re led?
In this episode of the DeadThree Coaching Show, George dives into one of the most powerful truths from Beyond the Hammer by Brian Gottlieb:
People don’t stay for the work. They stay for the leader.
When leadership is built on belief, care, and development—not control or transaction—it transforms everything. Your people stop “doing tasks” and start chasing greatness. Your culture shifts from obligation to ownership. And suddenly, your organization isn’t just productive—it’s alive.
George explores why belief is transferable, how great leaders leave echoes of belief long after meetings end, and why coaching people—not managing tasks—is the most urgent skill missing in leadership today.
