🎧 Podcast Show Notes

Micromanagement isn’t about control.
It’s about regulation.

In this episode, private consultant Kathie Owen explains how leaders regulate themselves during high-pressure moments — including growth, conflict, and mergers & acquisitions.

This conversation builds on a previous episode about micromanagement and goes deeper into the real solution most leaders miss.

You’ll learn:

• Why emotional regulation isn’t the same as staying calm
• How attachment drives over-control
• The three principles that restore clarity and trust
• Why courage is required to stop micromanaging
• How boundaries protect performance and psychological safety
• What elite athletes and great coaches understand about regulation

Kathie shares real-world examples from leadership consulting, including how regulation — not systems alone — transforms teams.

Because when leaders regulate themselves, the entire organization stabilizes.
