About this episode
Do This When You’re Frustrated With Your Team
When business gets hard, morale gets weird, and your team starts slipping, it’s real easy to let your frustration lead the room.
That’s a mistake.
In this episode, Tim and Derek talk about what contractors need to do when they’re frustrated with their team, when the business is in a low, and when they feel like snapping instead of leading. They get into the reality that leadership still starts at the top, why your people may be carrying more than you realize, and how to handle team issues without becoming the problem yourself.
This is a conversation about self-regulation, accountability, and doing the thing you don’t want to do when you don’t want to do it. Because when your company hits a rough patch, your team still needs leadership — not your bad mood.
Tim and Derek also talk about what to do when business slows down, why fun and reset matter more than most owners think, and how to lead people in a way they’ll remember for the right reasons.
In this episode:
- What to do when you’re frustrated with your team
- Why team problems usually lead back to the owner
- How to lead when morale is low and business is hard
- Why your employees may need more from you than you realize
- How to address behavior without blowing up your culture
- What to do when business is slow and your team needs a reset
- Why your people will remember how you made them feel
If you’re a contractor trying to build a stronger team, become a better leader, and stop letting frustration run your business, this one’s for you.
