You invested in someone. You coached them, advocated for them, went to bat for them. And then — they expected more than they'd earned. If that story sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
In this episode, you'll hear about:
The Three E's Framework — Engagement (the goal), Enablement (your role), and Entitlement (the signal that something needs to shift) — and why knowing the difference changes how you lead.
The Generational Reality — What the research actually says about entitlement in today's workplace, and how to tell the difference between genuine entitlement and something else entirely.
Three Patterns to Watch — The Generosity Gap, the Empathy Trap, and the Solver Problem — common ways well-meaning leaders can unintentionally feed entitlement on their teams.
