Episode Description
Your team is asking for more.
More flexibility.
More pay.
More exceptions.
More say in decisions.
And you’re sitting there thinking, when did this turn into entitlement?
In this episode, we unpack what’s really happening when requests feel unreasonable — and why the root cause is usually a leadership clarity issue, not an attitude problem.
You’ll learn:
- Why “entitlement” is often a signal, not the problem
- How leaders accidentally create resentment without realizing it
- What to look for before you shut a request down
- The two questions to ask when you feel frustrated with your team
- How unclear expectations fuel repeated tension
- What changes when roles, ownership, and decision rights are explicit
- Why operational clarity prevents culture problems
If you feel like you’re constantly negotiating with your team, this episode will help you move from irritation to structure.
