Episode notes

Most leaders believe they're doing a better job than they actually are. Global studies show that while managers rate themselves highly in terms of their effectiveness, less than a third of their employees agree with that assessment. So what’s behind this gap and is there anything leaders can do to address it, without adding even more to their full plates? In this episode of " Leadership Biz Cafe ", global C-suite executive coach and former Microsoft executive Sabina Nawaz reveals why even the most well-intentioned leaders develop blind spots and self-sabotaging habits that quietly damage their teams - and what you can do to avoid it. Drawing from her bestselling, award-winning book " You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need) ", Sabina introduces her framework of Power Gaps and Pressure Pitfalls - the hidden forces that grow in proportion to your authority and stress - and shares practical and easy to implement strategies for recognizing and overcoming them.
