Saying one thing and doing another

When Leaders Say One Thing and Do Another: The Credibility Crisis Ever worked for a manager who preaches calm, collaboration, and self-care—but then loses their temper, burns out, and makes decisions alone? You’re not alone. Join Paul, Ant, Sally, and Dan as they operate on the classic leadership dilemma of “do as I say, not as I do.” In this episode, they diagnose the impact of leaders whose actions contradict their words, exploring: * The confusion and frustration this creates for teams. * Why self-awareness is critical for leaders (and how to build it). * Practical steps for having courageous conversations with your boss. * How to prevent resentment and keep your own leadership on track.

The only female in a male leadership team. How do I lead effectively when the culture seems stacked against me?

What do you do when your ideas are ignored, and your confidence starts to fade in a new leadership role? In this episode of The Leadership Surgery, Paul, Anthony, Sally, and Dan tackle Heather’s pressing challenge: after earning a senior leadership position in a male-dominated department, she finds her contributions overlooked—until repeated by others—and struggles with being labelled “too direct” or “invisible.” The team explores the emotional and practical realities of leading in a biased culture, discussing the impact of unconscious bias, workplace dynamics, and the struggle for belonging. Listeners will hear expert advice on gathering feedback, building allies, and using curiosity to challenge bias without harming relationships. The conversation covers strategies for staying true to yourself, setting boundaries, and fostering inclusive cultures that value every voice. Have your own leadership challenge?

With whispers circulating and team dynamics at risk, Robert wonders whether to intervene or respect personal boundaries. The panel dives into the complexities of blurred lines between personal and professional relationships at work, sharing real-life anecdotes and practical strategies for leaders. They discuss the importance of focusing on trust, team energy, and the impact of gossip, rather than policing private lives. The conversation highlights how to address rumours, set clear expectations for professionalism, and maintain a healthy team environment—while respecting individual autonomy.
