#70- My Team Won’t Try New Things: The Moment I Realised Why

About this episode

Michelle Tanner discusses the moment she realized why her team in the salon had become creatively stagnant and the leadership changes needed to encourage risk-taking.

Lately I noticed something interesting in my salons. The work was beautiful, clients were happy, but creativity had quietly become safe. The same toners, the same formulas, the same predictable results. In this episode, I share the moment I realised why this was happening and the leadership shift that comes when you step off the chair and stop being the person who takes the first risk.
