Have you ever stepped into a leadership role, started raising the bar — and suddenly became the problem?

In this episode of The RE Source, we dig into a fascinating concept from Harvard Business Review that most leaders have felt but never had the words for. We explore why the traits that make you effective are often the same traits that make people uncomfortable, why resistance doesn’t automatically mean you’re failing, and how to tell the difference between a blind spot in your leadership and a problem that existed long before you arrived.

This isn’t a feel-good leadership talk. This is the uncomfortable truth about what it actually takes to lead meaningful change — and why the friction you’re feeling might be exactly the signal you need.

If you lead a team, manage a branch, or are building something worth building in real estate or mortgage, this episode will challenge the way you think about resistance, standards, and what real leadership actually looks like.

Watch it. Share it with someone on your team who needs to hear it.
