Episode 132: "The Leadership Trap," Jimmy Burroughes
What happens when the skills that made you successful start getting in the way of your leadership? In this episode, Jimmy Burroughes, Founder of JBL High Performance, explores the identity shift from expert to leader, why great leaders must empower other to make mistakes, and how coaching can replace control. Jimmy shares his Simplify to Amplify framework, practical strategies for identifying leadership friction, and insights on maximizing your time and impact.
The conversation with the former British Army Officer also looks ahead at how AI is reshaping the workforce -- and what leaders must do now to adapt, develop talent, and lead through change.
