161: The Untapped ROI of Leadership Development

Grow With Purpose Podcast

If your team can’t move without you, you’re the bottleneck.
Most business owners don’t suffer from a lack of effort—they suffer from underdeveloped leadership within their teams. In this episode of Grow With Purpose, Joey Brannon and Mike LoBue unpack what Tier 2 leadership development looks like in real-world businesses—and why it delivers the highest ROI you’re probably overlooking.

They’ll dive into the real signs of leadership struggle (like nonstop fire drills and exhausted managers), the differences between professional and leadership development, and how to multiply your team's capacity without hiring anyone new.

Key Takeaways:

Why the “I’ll just do it myself” mindset kills momentum

The connection between time management and effective leadership

How to spot and support emerging leaders already on your team

The difference between skilled professionals and actual leaders

Why the best businesses run better when the owner steps away

Whether you’re leading from the field or the boardroom, this conversation gives you the tools and mindset shifts needed to move your business forward—by building leaders who can carry it without you.
