Fighting Workplace Chaos and Leading Through Transitions | Juliet Funt

Leadership transitions can either build momentum—or break an organization. Juliet Funt shares how to get it right.

In this episode, Drew Steadman talks with bestselling author and organizational strategist Juliet Funt about two leadership challenges leaders everywhere face—whether they realize it or not.

First, they explore how modern work culture, endless taskers, and email overload are draining leaders' time, energy, and mission focus—and what we can do about it.

Then they dive into leadership transitions: those pivotal moments when one leader steps out and another steps in. Juliet shares powerful insights from her new research on military leadership handovers—and what it takes to step into a new role with clarity, humility, and intentionality.

If you’re leading through chaos or preparing for your next big move, this conversation is packed with practical lessons you can use right now.
