Are you building a leadership team that actually creates leverage — or are you still carrying more weight than you should?

In this episode of The Partnership Playbook, Phil breaks down a clear approach to leadership that drives growth and strengthens leadership without sacrificing performance.

You’ll learn how to:

1. Create clarity and ownership with direct reports without micromanaging
2. Collaborate as a thought partner without becoming the decision-maker
3. Build a leadership system that hits the numbers and develops champion leaders

If you’re a CEO focused on growth and leadership leverage, this episode will give you a practical framework you can apply immediately.

New episodes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
