The Rubber Band Only Stretches So Far: Why Misaligned Leaders Burn Out Their Teams

Someone on your team is excellent at their job. So you promote them. That is how it works, and almost nobody questions it.

Then things start to fracture. Deadlines get tighter. Processes multiply. People stop feeling included in decisions they used to be part of. Six months later you have a retention problem and a leader who is exhausted by a job they were never wired for. Cari Kenzie can show you exactly where that broke — and she can do it without anyone in the room having to make it personal. In this episode of Leadership Recalibrated™, Lori sits down with Cari, founder of Kinza Collective™, a strategic advisory firm that works with founders on leadership alignment, operations, and finances so their businesses hold real enterprise value. Cari built a trade show and event marketing firm into a multi-million dollar company and then sold it in 45 days.
