Ever walked out of a meeting agreeing with everything, then immediately started venting about it in the hallway? That's called back-channeling and it's a silent culture killer.

On this episode of the Tyler Dickherhoof show, Tyler sits down with Laurie Maddalena, certified speaking professional and author of The Elevated Leader, to unpack the six leadership saboteurs quietly wrecking teams everywhere.

  1. Lack of self-awareness
  2. Lack of focus
  3. Lack of delegation
  4. Lack of team engagement
  5. Conflict avoidance
  6. And passive leadership

Laurie shares a raw story from her own career — watching a brilliant CEO give his team the silent treatment for three days after a disagreement — and what it taught her about psychological safety, insecurity, and why "toxic boss management" shouldn't be an employee's job.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why the shift from traditional to facilitative leadership demands a completely different skill set
  • The parallel between today's AI overload and the email/cell phone disruption of 2006
  • Why delegation is really a driving lesson: bumps, scrapes, and all
  • The "80% rule" that frees up your time and grows your team
