My biggest leadership mistakes from 2024 (Part 1)
Manage episode 497456966 series 2627273

I got leadership wrong in 2024. That’s how I started a newsletter earlier this year that scared the hell out of me to publish. In this episode, I share what happened - and the high cost of indecision, fear, and people-pleasing.
Today, I’m turning the mic on myself. I’m joined by psychologist and friend Sabina Read to unpack the personal and professional fallout of the hardest year I’ve had as a leader.
From delaying redundancies to clinging to hope, to letting fear and likability steer my decisions - I share the choices I regret, what I learned from them, and how I’m showing up differently in 2025.
Sabina and I discuss:
- Why I refused to consider redundancies (and what it cost)
- How fear, not strategy, drove my biggest decisions
- The freeze response I didn’t realise I was stuck in
- What my therapist told me that sent me into a spiral
- How psychological safety broke down on my team - and what we do now to protect it
- The cultural check-in we do every 6–8 weeks to catch small issues before they explode
- Why listening deeply matters more than making the “right” decision
- How I started letting go of the need to be liked
Key Quotes
- “Hope is not a strategy. But that’s what I was relying on.”
- “I had a very high need to be liked—and that was making me a really bad manager.”
- “You can’t rest on your laurels with culture. It takes conscious work.”
