Episode notes
Invisible Leader Trained Teams To Hide Problems
- Leila describes a VP of customer success who only showed up when problems happened, not during progress.
- Her invisibility trained the team to hide issues and only surface fires months later, creating bigger problems.
Showing Up Changed Remote Meeting Culture
- Leila recounts 2016 remote Zoom calls where cameras were off and energy was low until she noticed she modeled the same behavior.
- After she changed her own presence (camera on, dressed, engaged), the team's meeting behavior improved within two weeks.
Teams Learn From Consequences Not Announcements
- Leila explains behavior is shaped by consequences: rewarded actions repeat, punished ones diminish, and ignored actions extinguish.
- This simple conditioning explains why teams mimic visible leader behavior more than verbal directives.
