Episode notes

"A leader's job is not to get followers; it's to create more leaders." Greg Provance joins Josh to discuss the subtle traps that lead to the "babysitting mentality"-where leaders feel they have to repeat instructions a thousand times because their team lacks ownership. They dive into how to reframe these interactions to foster an environment where team members don't just follow orders, but bring solutions to the table. Josh and Greg explore why curiosity is the most powerful tool in your leadership kit. From utilizing "micro-coaching" sessions in high-paced environments to turning mistakes into collaborative learning opportunities, this episode provides actionable strategies to move beyond the surface-level metrics and tap into the energy of your culture. In this episode, you'll learn: Babysitter vs. Leader: How to diagnose if you are unintentionally stifling your team's growth. The Power of Curiosity: Why turning every "correction" into a question changes the energy of the entire team.
