This episode is for business owners and leaders who are struggling with low team engagement, and want stronger accountability without leadership feeling heavier as the business grows.

Many capable leaders experience this as their teams grow and business leadership becomes more complex. What often starts as trying to motivate people or lift performance slowly turns into stepping in more, checking more often, and carrying decisions to keep things moving — leaving leaders feeling like they’re holding everything together.

In this leadership podcast episode, we explore why engagement is usually not a people or motivation issue, but a leadership design issue — and how high-impact leaders think differently about clarity, ownership, trust, and leadership rhythm as their teams scale.

You’ll hear a practical business leadership perspective that helps you recognise what’s really driving disengagement, why pressure and motivation don’t create commitment, and where leadership design needs to change so your team can engage, perform, and take ownership without constant oversight.

If this resonates, the deeper work happens inside the High-Impact Leader Club, where business owners and leaders design leadership that scales through people, not pressure.
