MPWR Podcast | Become The Leader YOU Want To Follow
Podcast Description
People don’t quit jobs, they quit bad leaders.
We’ve all been there. Working under a leader who made every day feel like a battle, where communication was lacking, vision was unclear, and pressure felt like a crushing weight rather than a challenge to rise to. But what if you could be the leader who changes that?
The MPWR Podcast is here to help you do just that. Hosted by Eric Pfeiffer, CEO of MPWR Coaching, this podcast is for leaders who want to show up stronger, smarter, and more resilient in an increasingly high-stakes world.
Because let’s face it, leadership isn’t easy. 83% of companies say leadership development is crucial, yet most leaders are left to figure it out on their own. And when leadership fails, the consequences are massive:
• Toxic cultures
• Disengaged employees
• High turnover and burnout
But when leadership thrives? Everything changes.
• Teams feel empowered and engaged
• Communication is clear and trust is strong
• Productivity and performance soar
Leadership is more than a job, it’s a responsibility. And the best leaders? They don’t just manage; they inspire. They create environments where people thrive, take ownership, and step into their full potential.
Each week on the MPWR Podcast, we dive deep into real-world strategies, expert insights, and actionable takeaways to help you lead with confidence and clarity, even under pressure. Whether you're an executive, an entrepreneur, or someone striving to lead yourself better, this podcast is for you.

The Ripple Effects of Underdeveloped Leadership
Most leadership breakdowns don’t begin with obvious mistakes. They begin quietly—inside the leader.
In this episode of MPWR, we explore a reality many leaders don’t recognize until it’s already shaping their culture, communication, and results: the ripple effects of underdeveloped leadership.
Last week’s conversation focused on what it feels like when leaders get stuck. This episode takes that insight further by examining what happens next—when internal tension, unaddressed growth edges, or outdated leadership strategies begin to move outward into the organization. These ripples often show up as communication breakdowns, lack of trust, unclear expectations, micromanagement, or teams carrying responsibility without true authority.
The challenge? Most leaders hope their internal struggles remain personal. But leadership doesn’t work that way.
What you haven’t yet developed—emotionally, strategically, or structurally—doesn’t stay contained. It quietly defines how decisions are made, how problems are solved, and how safe people feel to take ownership.
This episode unpacks how success itself can expose underdeveloped leadership muscles. The very strategies that helped you reach one level of growth may no longer sustain the next. Without intentional development, leaders often find themselves compensating—working harder, tightening control, or lowering standards—while teams feel the downstream effects.
You’ll hear practical insights on:
How subtle leadership blind spots shape culture over time
Why teams begin to “fill the gaps” when leaders don’t grow
The difference between delegation and dumping responsibility
Why clarity—not pressure—is the true leadership stabilizer
How leaders can stop ripple effects before they erode trust
If you’ve ever sensed friction in your organization that you couldn’t quite explain—or noticed your team reacting before you could name the cause—this conversation will help you connect the dots.
Because leadership isn’t just what you do. It’s what you’ve developed the capacity to carry.
Powerful Quotes
“The ripple effect begins subtly and slowly the whole team starts to feel what the leader wasn’t able to identify early on.”
“Most leaders hope their internal struggles stay personal, but leadership doesn’t work that way. Those ripples impact everything around you.”
“Leaders define culture; whether they’re intentional about it or not.”

Eric has released a new book that takes this conversation even further:
This book is more than a leadership manual; it’s a blueprint for transformation. Eric shows how to:
Identify the drama cycles that drain energy and derail teams.
Build trust intentionally rather than assuming it will emerge on its own.
Thrive under pressure by upgrading the internal system that drives every leadership decision.
And yes—set boundaries that strengthen leadership rather than weaken it.
