Ep 131: When Staff Frustrations Aren’t About Them

Rogue Business with Rochene H.

I’m not gonna lie, this one might sting.⁣ ⁣ Because if you’ve got staff (or you’re planning to), and you’re sitting in a sea of frustration, tasks not getting done, performance slipping, communication clunky, it’s easy to assume your staff are the problem.⁣ ⁣ But what if they’re not?⁣ ⁣ What if your ceiling is actually *you*, your leadership, your shadows, your avoidance, and your refusal to actually look at what’s underneath the resentment?⁣ ⁣ This episode is not soft. It’s not fluffy. It’s a real conversation about what’s *actually* going on when things feel “off” with your staff, and how that unresolved energy bleeds into culture, client results, retention, and ultimately your growth.⁣ ⁣ This is the work that too many founders avoid until the cracks start costing them.⁣ ⁣ If your business has felt heavy… this might be why.⁣ ⁣ "You don’t have a staff problem. You have an embodiment, leadership, and avoidance problem. And the red flags couldn’t be brighter."⁣ ⁣ [00:00] The episode that might sting⁣ [03:40] Why your team isn’t performing (hint: it’s not them)⁣ [08:55] Venting vs. leading: the line you need to walk⁣ [13:20] How you’re building resentment by avoiding your own development⁣ [18:45] External systems aren’t enough, if you don’t embody it, it won’t land⁣ [23:10] The invisible tax of poor leadership⁣ [27:15] What great staff leadership *actually* looks like⁣ [34:00] Why this matters more than you think⁣ ⁣ If this episode cracked something open, come hang with me @rocheneh⁣ ⁣ Thanks for being here, Ro x
