288. The 5 Fears That Keep Leaders From Investing In Their Team

About this episode

This episode discusses the five fears that prevent leaders from investing in their teams and how to overcome them.

If you've ever hesitated to invest in your team, this episode is for you. It's not that you don't believe in professional development. It's that you've invested before, hoped before, and been disappointed before. In this bonus episode I walk through the five specific fears that keep directors and owners from investing in their teams, and why every single one of them makes complete sense. Because until you name what you're actually afraid of, you can't move past it. Staff Culture Infrastructure Vault — https://schoolsofexcellence.com/vault
