210: How to lead when you are already stretched thin
Episode description
Most people become managers with zero training.
No reps.
No practice.
No preparation for feedback, conflict, or decision-making.
They’re told to lead anyway.
In this episode, I use my experience training for a HYROX endurance race to explain what leadership actually requires — and why so many managers feel behind from day one.
You’ll learn:
- Why lack of training makes leadership feel overwhelming
- What “training while compromised” looks like at work
- How to build management muscle in real time
- Why waiting until you have capacity never works
- How better preparation reduces burnout
- Ways to strengthen your team even when you’re stretched
- What consistent reps look like for modern managers
If you’ve ever thought, I should be better at this by now, this episode will show you how leaders actually improve.
Best for new managers, founders, and team leads who were promoted fast and expected to figure it out.
