About this episode
Clifford Morgan discusses how business owners can empower their teams to become independent problem solvers.
Ep 27. Every business owner knows this feeling: your team comes to you with every problem, every decision, every question. You've become the bottleneck. The answer man. The person who has to solve everything because no one else will. It's exhausting. And it's stopping your business from growing. Lachlan speaks to Clifford Morgan, organisational psychologist, executive coach and author of "The Coaching Leader", to unpack how business owners can shift from giving all the answers to developing a team of problem solvers. You'll learn: - Why your team keeps coming to you (and how to break the pattern) - The simple coaching framework that develops independent thinkers - Practical questions you can use in real situations this week Clifford brings unique insights from his 15+ years in the Royal Australian Air Force, where he shifted from command-and-control leadership to coaching hundreds of leaders across military and business contexts.
