In this episode of Love Monday, I ask a question every organization should be asking about their managers: Will they lead?

Too many managers stay in the weeds, doing the work their teams should be doing—avoiding the hard, essential work of coaching, developing, and leading. Whether it’s clinging to tasks, covering for underperforming team members, or claiming they’re just "helping out," the result is the same: disengaged teams and stalled performance.

I take a look at what real leadership looks like, why so many managers avoid it, and how to spot the difference between a task-doer and a true people-developer. Backed by research from Gallup, Google’s Project Oxygen, Zenger Folkman, and HBR, this episode delivers a no-fluff reality check and a clear framework for evaluating leadership at every level.

If you lead managers, coach leaders, or are a manager yourself, this one’s for you.
