as posted by the channelFree Weekly Leadership Newsletter
Nothing fires people up like a frustrating boss. Micromanager. Control freak. Huge ego. It’s easy to say, “It’s not my fault.” In this episode of the Lead & Win Podcast, Sean and Leif break down how to lead up the chain of command—even when your boss drives you crazy.
They unpack what it really means to influence your boss, why “my boss never listens” is usually a reflection on you, and how to build trust, respect, and leadership capital so your ideas actually land. You’ll hear real stories from the SEAL Teams and the business world about micromanaging bosses, shifting priorities, and how Extreme Ownership flips the script: if your boss doesn’t trust you, it’s on you to earn it.
Use this episode to learn:
How to lead when you’re in the middle of the organization

How to deal with a micromanaging boss without blowing up the relationship
