Building on the self-leadership foundations laid in Episode 1, host Nathy Gaffney is joined by Phuel facilitators Tracey Ward and Alex Blackbourne for a conversation about what happens when you become responsible for other people. They explore how trust erodes through small, everyday moments rather than grand failures, the difference between a team that feels safe and one that's simply become comfortable, and why the conversations leaders keep postponing are quietly costing them their teams.
