In this episode, Erin McKone breaks down what real leadership looks like when everything is changing at once. From high-pressure situations to team-wide chaos, Erin shows how fun, personality, and presence can completely shift team dynamics.
We talk about leadership, team dynamics, fun at work, high-pressure situations, team support, micromanagement, effective leadership, and workplace culture.
Erin shares how she kept her team grounded through major transitions: playing music, staying lighthearted, leading by example, and showing up not as a micromanager… but as the extra set of hands her team needed.
If you’re a leader navigating change this conversation will give you real, practical insight into building a healthy, supportive workplace.
