The Unlearned Podcast

Have you ever heard of the word"micromanager? Did you ever work for someone who was a micromanager? Did you leave because of that? Scarier question: Are you a micromanager? Would you be willing to UNlearn this unhealthy leadership habit and practice?  On this episode I talk about my own Unhealthy years as a micromanager with one of my best friends Johnny Byrd. Johnny and I planted a church together and thankfully he survived my years of Unhealthy leadership. We not only unpack the key to unlearning micromanaging but how we had fun doing something neither one of us had ever done before as leaders.   

This episode was a great time chatting about leadership with CrossFit Coach Matt Whitehead from CrossFit FirstCreek in Knoxville, TN. We also talk about why we love CrossFit, why we love our FirstCreek community and an Unhealthy leadership habit that we all need to unlearn.  

Do you lead more by giving all the answers or asking good questions? What if you could actually empower your team to accomplish more by leading with questions? During this episode we will talk about how we can UNLEARN the unhealthy leadership habit and practice of leading with only answers while learning to lead with more questions.  

There are a few reasons why I wanted to create this podcast as a resource but helping leaders unlearn unhealthy leadership habits and behaviors is the main one. I think if we could go back in time to change a bad decision or take back an embarrassing leadership moment we would. So the bad news is there isn’t a time machine to do that but there is this podcast so I can share my personal leadership unlearning so you don’t have to have the same experience or at least you can adjust as you go.
