The Hidden Cost of Frustration: What It’s Really Costing Your Business with Andrew Oxley
Manage episode 510007450 series 3353342
Frustration—it’s not just a bad day. It’s a flashing neon sign that something is broken. And if you’re ignoring it, your business is bleeding money.
In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc sits down with executive coach and author Andrew Oxley, who reveals how most leaders completely misread frustration—treating it like a nuisance instead of a strategic clue. Join us as we unpack the Four Faces of Frustration, explore how it sabotages your team and customer experience, and show you how to turn that friction into insight and action.
About AndrewAndrew Oxley is a nationally recognized author, speaker, and executive coach with over 30 years of experience helping leaders cut through complexity and drive real, measurable business results. He is the founder of The Oxley Group, a leadership development and consulting firm known for its results-focused approach with clients such as Airgas, Farmer’s Insurance, Gold Creek Foods, Progressive Insurance, Altisource, DEKRA, Coca- Cola Enterprises, Turner Broadcasting, The Weather Channel, Mohawk Industries, CNN, AIG Insurance and COX Communications. Andrew began his career in technical sales after a college professor challenged him to think beyond traditional engineering roles. That led to early success at Trane Canada during Toronto’s historic building boom, where he led one of the most successful sales teams in the company’s history. But despite outward success, Andrew found himself burned out and unfulfilled. A quote he saw in a national newspaper—“The trouble with the rat race is, even if you win, you’re still a rat”—sparked a turning point that led him to ask deeper questions about meaning, leadership, and impact.
That personal pivot led to a professional mission: helping leaders achieve more in less time, with more purpose. His programs and books have since impacted tens of thousands of leaders—equipping them with practical tools to simplify decision-making, sharpen focus, and lead with clarity.
Andrew is the creator of several proven leadership development programs, including:
- LeaderShift
- Retaining Top Talent
- Coaching for Success
- Effective Supervision
- Innovation for Leaders
- Strategic Influence
- The Four Faces of Frustration
- The 3 Roles of a Leader
Through every keynote, coaching engagement, and training session, Andrew brings a clear message: leadership doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With the right mindset and tools, leaders can reclaim their time, deepen their impact, and enjoy what they’ve worked so hard to build.
