IMPACT Effect with Jim Morris – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Your team is a mirror, whether you want it to be or not, they’re reflecting your leadership back to you every single day.

In this episode of Impact Effect, I sit down with leadership expert and organizational psychologist Tammy Fitzpatrick, PhD to talk about what your team’s behavior is really telling you. We get into why culture is never created by slogans, why integrity shows up in the small moments, and how leaders often become blind to the patterns they’re modeling.

If I’m being honest, this one hit me too. It’s not about fixing your team, it’s about taking a look in the mirror first and owning what you see.

Topics we dive into:

1. Why your team’s behavior is a direct reflection of your leadership

2. How modeling, not messaging, sets the real standard inside a company

3. The hidden ways leaders create the problems they complain about

4. Why fixing systems starts with fixing how you show up

5. How clarity and focus change what actually moves the business
