Episode 37: Your Team Isn’t the Problem. Your Leadership Is.

the effect that it has when someone leaves your organization.

And I think so many leaders allow it to affect them more than it should.

And it really, honestly, for some, some man, I see it just derailing people.

I know in my, my junior like leadership career, phase of business.

Like when people would leave, it'd be like, I was sick for two days and couldn't go to work.

Cause I'm like, just, it just killed me.

Right.

Um, but as I've matured as a leader, it's just like, I just realized that's part of business.

And what I really realized is that the truth is everyone's going to leave at some point.

I go back to the principle that I learned from John Cheplak is that it's reason, season, or lifetime.

People are with you for a reason.

I let go of the outcome a long time ago of what people choose to do.

I control what I can control.

I know where my heart is.

I know what my intention is.

I know I want to give, give, give to everyone.

I just let go of what they do with it after that.

That's out of my control.

And I think too many people put so much weight into that.

And I think it goes to something we talk about a lot.

The reason that I think that it used to affect me more than it does today.

And the reason I see it affect others is because they're not fully operating from an abundant place yet.

And when you're in abundance, it's just like, I just realized that if someone left me, let's say a top producer leaves your organization, right? we talked about this before the call and you were spot on when you said it is that like a top producer only, like if they leave, it's because me as a leader, I didn't continue to provide opportunities for them or I didn't have depth of relationship with them or they were probably toxic and needed to go anyway.

And so any of those, there's lessons in all of those.
