EP 109. 3 Excuses That Will Ruin Your Leadership (And How to Stop Making Them)

Excuses might feel harmless in the moment - but they’re slowly eroding your credibility, your influence, and your team’s performance.

In this episode, I break down the three most common excuses I hear from managers, why they’re holding you back, and how to replace them with leadership habits that build trust and respect.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why “I don’t have time” costs you more time (and team engagement) later

- How avoiding discomfort to “keep the peace” damages trust

- Why “it’s easier if I do it” leads to burnout and a disengaged team

- The mindset shifts and practical actions that replace excuses with influence

- How to create the conditions for your team to thrive without micromanaging

If you are holding yourself back with excuses or wondering how the heck to stop making them so you can become trusted and respected - this episode is for you.

If you are new to leadership and wondering how to “get it right”, have a listen
