2025 Year in Review: The Systems, Mindsets, and Leadership Lessons That Mattered Most
What if the biggest leadership lesson of 2025 wasn’t about doing more — but about doing less, better?
In this 2025 Year in Review episode of the Get Organized at Work podcast, I’m reflecting on the most-downloaded episodes of the year and the leadership themes that resonated most with listeners. From building calm, effective work systems to redefining productivity, consistency, and career growth, this episode pulls together the insights that mattered most in real workplaces.
You’ll hear:
-
The top-performing leadership and productivity episodes of 2025
-
Why systems like OneNote, Kanban boards, and leader standard work resonated so strongly
-
The shift from hustle culture to calm, sustainable leadership
-
How consistency beats intensity when it comes to career advancement
-
What these trends tell us about the future of leadership in 2026
If you’re a high-achieving professional, manager, or emerging leader who wants to get organized at work without burning out, this episode will help you reflect, reset, and move forward with clarity.
🎯 Perfect for leaders who want to:
-
Reduce overwhelm at work

As we head into 2026, this episode serves as both a reflection and a roadmap — reminding you that you don’t need more hustle to be a great leader. You need the right systems, rhythms, and expectations.
