Episode notes
If you’re a leader and you only hear good news, you may have a bigger problem than you think.
In this episode of the Deep Leadership podcast, I sit down with Phillip Wilson, CEO of LRI Consulting Services and author of The Leader-Shift Playbook, to talk about one of the most overlooked leadership blind spots: power distance.
Why don’t employees speak up?
Why do teams hide mistakes?
Why does bad news travel slowly… or not at all?
We unpack the concept of approachability, the hidden cost of wide power distance, and what Phil calls the “hero assumption” – the mindset shift that transforms how leaders see their people.
If you want more honest feedback, stronger trust, and a team that tells you the truth before problems explode, this conversation is for you.
