Who is The Boss Here? Taking Back Control of Your Team

Hello and welcome to Episode 293 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a challenge that so many business owners face (even if they don’t talk about it): what happens when your team starts calling the shots… and you’re no longer in control of your business?

It happens more often than you’d think.

You start out delegating a few tasks to make life easier… then one day you realise you're asking your team for permission to make decisions. You're walking on eggshells. You’re avoiding the hard conversations. And your business? It no longer feels like yours.

If any of that sounds familiar — this episode is for you.

Here’s what we cover:

✅ How it happens – The subtle shift from leading to reacting

✅ Why it happens – The mindset traps and leadership habits that leave us overrun

✅ Red flags to watch for – Signs your team might be running the show

✅ How to take back control – Practical, non-confrontational ways to reset and reclaim your role as the leader

Whether you have 2 team members or 20, this is about setting a strong foundation to lead with confidence, clarity, and authority.

This episode is especially relevant if you're the kind of business owner who wants to create a high-performing team — without being the one everyone walks all over.
