Female Founder Unplugged

About Female Founder Unplugged

Are you leading a team but quietly wondering if you’re actually doing it right? Are you dealing with employee issues, performance problems, or difficult conversations that feel heavier than they should? And are you starting to realize that growing your business through people is a completely different skill set than building it on your own? If that sounds like you, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. Because the truth is, leadership is something most founders are never properly taught. You build a business, you hire a team, and suddenly you’re expected to know how to manage people, make the right calls, and lead with confidence—without ever being shown how to do it well. That’s exactly what this podcast is here to change. Hi, I’m Lindsay White, a fractional HR expert and leadership coach who works with founders and business owners navigating the real challenges of leading a team. I’ve spent years inside growing businesses, helping founders work through everything from hiring and performance issues to team dynamics and difficult decisions—often at the exact moment things start to feel messy, unclear, or harder than they should. Like a lot of the people I work with, you may have built something successful, but no one handed you a clear playbook for what comes next when you’re responsible for a team. And what I’ve seen time and time again is that when leadership isn’t intentional, the same issues keep showing up—just at a larger scale. In this show, you’ll learn how to: ✨ Handle employee performance issues and know what to do when someone on your team isn’t meeting expectations ✨ Navigate difficult conversations at work with clarity instead of avoiding them or second-guessing yourself afterward ✨ Hire the right people and avoid the hiring mistakes that create bigger problems down the line ✨ Build a workplace culture that supports your business as it grows, instead of something you’re constantly trying to fix ✨ Lead your team with more confidence so you can scale your business without everything falling back on you If you’re ready to feel more confident in how you manage your team and make decisions as a leader, this is a good place to start.

Leadership Skills for Business Owners: 5 Ways You're Training Your Team to Depend on You

Published 17 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] We also have to pay attention to what our behavior is teaching the people around us. And that's where I want you to shift the question. So instead of asking, why does my team need me for everything? Try asking, what does my business and my team need for me as a leader right now? Maybe they need you to step in strategically. Maybe they need you to make the big decision. Maybe they need you to set a very clear direction. But they might also need you to step back out of the day-to-day decisions. They may need clear priorities, more context. They might need access to you long enough to understand the direction you've given them. […]
