Is Your Team Sending You Silent Signals?
Not all feedback is spoken—and often, the most important signals from your team are the ones they don’t say out loud. In this episode, Susie and James explore what it means to recognize and respond to the subtle cues that indicate misalignment, anxiety, or disengagement.
From meetings that lead to more meetings, to team members repeating questions or avoiding decisions, these quiet behaviors often reveal deeper issues with leadership, clarity, or trust. Susie shares real-world examples from coaching sessions, while James offers insights into how leaders can sharpen their awareness and adjust before small cracks become major problems.
Key Takeaways from This Episode:
- How to spot signs your message isn’t landing—even if no one says so.
- Why “meetings after the meeting” are a red flag for misalignment.
- How listening more intentionally can reveal what your team really needs.
