If you want to improve your leadership strategies, you need to look at the daily choices you make. We break down the practical approach to management that fosters growth and accountability.

This Week's Guest: Heather Younger

Chaos at work has a way of exposing what’s real. When the market shifts, a reorg lands, or anxiety spreads across a team, people don’t look for a perfect leader. They look for a steady one. That’s why I sat down with Heather Younger, a leadership and workplace culture keynote speaker, researcher, and best-selling author known for her work on caring leadership and what she calls becoming unshakable.

We get into the nuts and bolts of what “care” actually looks like on the job. Heather breaks caring leadership down into clear, visible behaviors like active listening, building trust, creating psychological safety, and setting expectations that eliminate confusion. We also challenge the common mistake of treating care as “being nice.” Kind leadership can include tough feedback, guardrails, and accountability that protects the team and helps people find the right fit, not just the comfortable path.

Then we go deeper into self-leadership and self-regulation: values, fear, progress over perfection, and the ability to pause before you react. Heather shares why selective vulnerability matters, how leaders can acknowledge hard moments without spilling stress onto their people, and why steadiness is a practice, not a personality trait. We also preview her upcoming book, The Unshakable Team, including the canoe metaphor and practical tools like a team stability scan and a steadiness index designed to help leaders navigate uncertainty.

If you lead people, build culture, or simply want more resilience at work, you’ll leave with a clearer playbook for trust, emotional intelligence, and stability when it counts. Subscribe, share this with a leader who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.
