#132: Undermanagement With David Spader And Leigh Quinn, Part 2

In today's episode of Culture Camp, Jason is joined again by David Spader and Leigh Quinn of Potentia, and they continue their discussion on why leaders undermanage—not from lack of intent, but from motivations, emotional patterns, and capabilities. They explain how relational styles often avoid accountability conversations, how adaptability, “firm flexibility,” and emotional self-awareness impact management, and why leaders must distinguish between solving and resolving problems with their teams. They also highlight the danger of hiding behind processes instead of actually managing people, and emphasize assessments and ongoing practice as keys to growth.
