  Episode 112: Your Team Isn't Under Surveillance

  Sep 8, 202625 min

  Have you ever wondered whether checking in on your team is leadership... or micromanagement? Hybrid work is now a normal part of many organizations. Many leaders struggle with balancing accountability and autonomy. The biggest mistake leaders make is trying to manage hybrid teams the same way they managed people sitting down the hall. Great hybrid leadership isn't about monitoring people more. It's about creating systems that help people succeed. Today's Scripture: Psalm 118:8 - It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. ***** Check out my website ⁠⁠https://rachelgallardo.net⁠⁠ to review previous episodes, receive the newsletter, read my blog, or say hello.

  Episode 111: Did You React or Respond?

  Aug 25, 202624 min

  Think about the last time you received an unexpected email, difficult feedback, or bad news. Did you react—or did you respond? Leadership is tested most visibly during moments of uncertainty, conflict, and pressure. Teams often remember less about the problem itself and more about how their leader behaved in the moment. The quality of our leadership is often determined by the space we create between stimulus and action. Today I will explain both and give you an acronym you can use the next time you want to react.
