Becoming the Leader People Actually Want to Follow

Most people in leadership roles were never taught how to lead — they were promoted, handed a title, and expected to figure it out. But real leadership? The kind people willingly follow? That takes intention, skill, and self-awareness.

This week on The Staffing Playbook Podcast, Powered by YES, we’re bringing in someone who has lived it, coached it, and built a career on transforming teams:

🎙 Guest Speaker: Andre Young
 Professional Speaker • Author • Leadership Trainer • Founder of You Evolving Now
 Former mental health therapist → pro athlete → organizational consultant
 Author of 7 Ways to Lead

Andre breaks down leadership in a way few people do — practical, human, direct, and immediately actionable. No fluff. No corporate buzzwords. Just the truth about what makes people actually want to follow you.

We unpack:
 ✔️ Why most leaders unintentionally limit their teams
 ✔️ How to build trust without playing “the boss” card
 ✔️ The behaviors teams desperately want but rarely get
 ✔️ The difference between leading and managing
 ✔️ How to evolve as a leader… even when you’re already good
