Ep 91: Why Are Our Standards For Leadership So Low?

Send us a text In this episode of The Love Monday Podcast, I ask a tough but necessary question: Why do we keep settling for mediocre leadership? It started with a conversation I had with a friend. I dropped the stat from Gallup—that organizations choose the wrong person for management 82% of the time—and she pushed back. But as we kept talking, even she admitted her current and past leaders weren’t exactly stellar. We dig into this epidemic of mediocrity, spotlighting an article from Time that calls it what it is: The Plague of Mediocre Leadership. From uninspired vision to lackluster communication and accountability, I explore why companies keep promoting the wrong people and how this sets the tone for disengagement, poor performance, and turnover. If you’re a leader—or work for one—this episode will challenge you to rethink what great management should look like. It"s time we raise the bar.
