Are your leadership habits unknowingly driven by fear?

Are your reactions, team dynamics, or communication patterns really what they seem? Or are they being shaped by your internal defenses?

In this episode, we welcome back organizational psychologist and executive coach Dr. Laura Gallaher to explore how self-deception, fear-based behaviors, and emotional triggers sabotage leadership even when intentions are good. We go deeper into the psychology behind leadership, culture, and emotional intelligence.

If you're leading people and still feel like something's off, this conversation will hit home.

🧠 Laura breaks down:

How to spot fear-driven decisions vs love-based leadership
The Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Theory (FIRO): significance, competence, and likability
Why what irritates you in others may actually be about you
The step-by-step process to move from awareness → comprehension → transformation

Joins us and learn how this episode will challenge and inspire you to stop leading from fear and start leading from a deeper sense of self-awareness.
