If nearly half your team is pretending to work, the real problem isn’t laziness—it’s leadership.

When your mission is fuzzy, KPIs are unclear, and communication is inconsistent, your team isn’t engaged—they’re surviving. And most leaders make it worse by tightening control instead of building culture.

In this episode, we break down how to fix the disengagement at its roots—starting with how you hire, how you lead, and how you design the systems your team runs on.

You’ll also hear:

  • How “productivity theater” forms—and how to stop directing it

  • The hiring mistake that kills accountability from day one

  • Why the 5 C’s are the missing link between clarity and ownership

  • How Human Needs Theory reveals what your team is really missing

  • Why AI isn’t here to replace your team—it’s here to give you back the bandwidth to lead them
