What transforms a caring manager into someone their employees fear? According to executive coach Sabina Nawaz, it's not a personality defect—it's pressure. Drawing from her own jarring experience of returning from maternity leave to find herself snapping at her team, Nawaz reveals the hidden forces that push good people into problematic leadership behaviors. This eye-opening conversation challenges the myth that there are simply "good" and "bad" bosses. Nawaz, who spent 14 years at Microsoft working with leaders like Bill Gates, explains how both types of boss reside within us all. The difference lies in our awareness and the tools we use to navigate workplace pressures without sacrificing our humanity.Click HERE for Sabina's book, You're the Boss - Becoming the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)Click HERE for Sabina's websiteClick HERE for Sabina's LinkedIn pageHERE ARE MORE RESOURCES FROM REAL GOOD VENTURES:Never miss a good opportunity to learn from a bad boss...Click HERE to get your very own Reference Profile.  We use The Predictive Index as our analytics platform so you know it's validated and reliable.  Your Reference Profile informs you of your needs, behaviors, and the nuances of what we call your Behavioral DNA.  It also explains your work style, your strengths, and even the common traps in which you may find yourself.  It's a great tool to share with friends, family, and co-workers.Follow us on Instagram HERE and make sure to share with your network!Follow us on Twitter HERE and make sure to share with your network!Provide your feedback HERE, please!  We love to hear from our listeners and welcome your thoughts and ideas about how to improve the podcast and even suggest topics and ideas for future episodes.Visit us at www.realgoodventures.com.  We are a Talent Optimization consultancy specializing in people and business execution analytics.  Real Good Ventures was founded by Sara Best and John Broer who are both Certified Talent Optimization Consultants with over 50 years of combined consulting and organizational performance experience.  Sara is also certified in EQi 2.0.  RGV is also a Certified Partner of Line-of-Sight, a powerful organizational health and execution platform.  RGV is known for its work in leadership development, executive coaching, and what we call organizational rebuild where we bring all our tools together to diagnose an organization's present state and how to grow toward a stronger future state. Send us a text

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Sabina Nawaz, global CEO coach and former Microsoft executive, about her new book You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be and Others Need. With authenticity and insight, Sabina shares what no one tells you about stepping into management, from the strange emptiness that can follow a promotion to how pressure can quietly bring out the worst in us. They discuss why even successful leaders can feel like imposters, how power and pressure distort our perceptions, and what it means to be an “innocent saboteur.” Sabina also offers practical advice, such as developing your “shut up muscle,” asking better questions, and making small habit changes that stick. The conversation covers everything from leadership in the workplace to parenting, making this one of those rare episodes with takeaways for every area of life. If you're looking for insights on how to grow as a leader without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “It's not power that corrupts. It's pressure that corrupts.” “If nobody's giving you the full truth, what are the ways you might be going off track?” “When you're under pressure, do nothing. That's counterintuitive but that's where insight lives.” “The more righteous you feel, the more you need to consider alternative stories.” “Use 'Say more' when you're curious—and especially when you're judgmental.” “The only way to overachieve is to underachieve—start with micro habits.” “You're not the only one with imposter syndrome—CEOs have it too.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:15 Start of Interview 02:24 “Can you think of anything from your family culture or experiences growing up that may have influenced how you think about leadership?” 05:08 “You describe getting promoted as a strange emptiness—what were the signs it came with unexpected costs?” 07:17 “Do you see imposter syndrome even in top-level leaders you coach?” 08:21 “How does embracing the complexity of leadership change how we view our own leaders?” 10:04 “How do we unknowingly sabotage ourselves as leaders?” 12:09 “What are some of the signs that you're veering off track as a boss?” 13:10 “What specific things do you personally do to manage pressure situations so you don't become a monster?” 17:13 “You say, ‘stay small longer than you think you need to.' What does that mean and how do you apply it?” 21:07 “What is a singular story and how do we rescue ourselves from believing them?” 26:20 “What's the ‘shut up muscle' and how do you develop it?” 29:02 “Can you think of ideas from the book that apply to parenting as well?” 31:44 End of Interview 32:09 Andy Comments After the Interview 37:40 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Sabina and her work at SabinaNawaz.com/book.

Sabina Nawaz is a top-tier executive coach who works closely with C-suite leaders and teams in Fortune 500 companies, government organizations, nonprofits, and universities globally. She's also the author of “You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need).” In this episode, Sabina discusses how power can distort perception, making leaders unaware of how they're coming across. She explains that the biggest barrier is often unacknowledged pressure, which leads to reactive behavior like micromanagement or overusing authority.  She reveals how pressure can distort perception and lead to behaviors that harm both leaders and their teams. Sabina also dives into the tension between being approachable and maintaining authority, highlighting the importance of vulnerability and listening to others.  She offers advice for leaders feeling overwhelmed, encouraging them to make time for "blank space" and reflect on their capacity before taking on more.   For leaders looking to navigate the pressures of leadership and improve their effectiveness, this episode provides valuable insights on self-awareness, authority, and creating space for growth. You can find episode 464 wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube |   Key Takeaways [04:18] Sabina shared how returning from parental leave led her into high-pressure meetings, causing her to shift from a supportive manager to a micromanager. A colleague's comment about someone crying because of her behavior made her reflect: "It's not power that corrupts—it's pressure." [06:53] Sabina warned against burnout from constant pressure. She advises high performers to set boundaries and practice “blank space”—two hours each week to unplug and just be. [08:51] Sabina emphasized the importance of balancing authority with empathy. She advocates for the “shut up muscle,” where leaders wait to speak, allowing others to contribute first. [13:30] Sabina cautioned against claiming self-awareness. She encourages leaders to notice signs of power gaps, such as lack of independent feedback, as a way to improve awareness. [18:05] Sabina stressed that leaders should model vulnerability and avoid toxic positivity. Admitting struggles allows others to do the same, creating a more authentic work environment.She explained that leaders who hide their emotions prevent others from expressing theirs. Being open about one's own feelings fosters human connection, despite potential misinterpretation. [24:24] Sabina addressed the myth of bad bosses, stating that it's often pressure-induced behavior that causes leadership struggles. Leaders should adapt by reassessing how their strengths are perceived.Sabina urged leaders to reflect on how their strengths might be misunderstood under pressure. For example, “strategic” can be seen as manipulative and “calm” as disinterested. [28:03] Sabina highlighted the importance of reading signs from others and adjusting leadership behavior to avoid negative patterns and fit new responsibilities.Sabina shared a success story of a difficult leader who transformed by practicing restraint, slowing her pace, and valuing others' ideas—earning praise as the “best boss.” [31:07] Sabina emphasized that coaching should come from genuine curiosity, not as an exit strategy. Only when leaders are willing to grow does true transformation happen. [32:32] Sabina offered a quick self-diagnosis tool from her book to spot “power gaps and pressure pitfalls,” with reflective prompts like: “Are you the only one coming up with ideas?” [34:51] And remember... Know Thyself - Socrates   Quotable Quotes "It is not power that corrupts. It is pressure that corrupts us."  "Our default reaction to pressure is to hunker down and do more, more, more, more busier. But you know what? The 24-hour clock timer is going to die at some point." – "There are many ways to skin the cat. There are many ways to get something right and to accomplish something." – Sabina Nawaz "The first, second, maybe the third, fourth or fifth person to speak... Let others speak first because the minute you speak, no one else is going to debate that."  "Self awareness is a never ending quest." "If somebody says they're self aware, they're not." "If someone says they're selfless, all I care about is everybody else... it's probably the opposite." "The more open you can channel yourself as the more people... It gives people permission to come to you and connect with you, human to human." "Be mindful of how you do that openness. And would you rather they're going to make up stories about you regardless whether you say something or you don't?" “It's more about diagnosing which specific aspect of bad boss behaviors are coming out in you when the pressure comes, the inevitable pressure comes in to corrupt you.  But then it goes back to, you can't do any of that if you are not self aware.” "There is no such thing as a purely bad or purely good boss."   This is the book mentioned in this book   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Sabina Nawaz is a powerhouse executive coach and leadership strategist who has helped leaders from Fortune 500 companies to innovative startups transform their mindsets and unlock their leadership potential. With over 25 years of experience—including a pivotal management role at Microsoft—Sabina blends emotional intelligence with practical tools to help leaders manage pressure, communicate authentically, and embrace continuous growth. As an author and sought-after speaker, her candid insights encourage leaders to move beyond comfort zones, embrace vulnerability, and create a positive, lasting impact on their teams and organizations. Takeaways: Authenticity is Multifaceted: Sabina emphasizes that authenticity isn’t singular—leaders need to adapt to their circumstances and roles, using authenticity as a guide for growth rather than an excuse to avoid change. Pressure and Power Dynamics Matter: She explains that it’s not just power, but pressure, that often corrupts behavior in leaders. Managing both is essential, and pressure can either define or refine leadership, depending on how it’s handled. Communication and Vulnerability Win Trust: The most effective leaders are those who communicate clearly, align their words and body language, and aren’t afraid to express vulnerability. This builds stronger connections and lifelong loyalty among teams. Sound Bites: “Pressure doesn’t have to define you. It can refine you—just like pressure builds diamonds.” “Authenticity, when used as an excuse for not changing, actually prevents growth. We have multiple authentic selves, depending on our roles.” “If you’re a leader, arrange your face before you walk into that meeting. Your resting face carries more weight than you think.” Quote by Mick: "I tell leaders, if there’s one habit that you can have today, it’s presence. And presence for your team is going to mean something different for all the individuals that you lead or that you manage. And you got to understand how to be present for them."

Ever caught yourself micromanaging when deadlines loom, despite your best intentions? You're not alone. In this revealing conversation, former Microsoft executive Sabina Nawaz shares her personal wake-up call – discovering an employee crying after one of her meetings – that transformed her approach to leadership under pressure.Sabina introduces game-changing concepts like the "delegation dial" that replaces the problematic on/off switch approach to empowerment. Rather than flipping between complete control and total hands-off leadership, she offers a nuanced framework that adapts to both the situation and the individual's capability. This approach transforms how we develop talent while maintaining quality standards.The conversation explores how power isolates leaders from truth, creating blind spots that undermine effectiveness. Through practical tools like the "shut up muscle" (intentionally not being the first to speak) and the "multiple meanings exercise" (generating several interpretations of a situation before reacting), Sabina provides immediately applicable strategies for breaking free from these leadership traps.Perhaps most valuable is Sabina's insight that what senior leadership saw as your strengths may be perceived completely differently by those reporting to you. This perception shift after promotion creates unexpected challenges that derail many promising leaders – unless they recognize and adapt to this new reality.Ready to transform how you show up as a leader? Listen now and discover actionable strategies from Sabina's new book "You're the Boss: How to Become the Manager You Want to Be and Others Need." Your team will thank you.

What I love about former Microsoft executive and management and leadership expert Sabina Nawaz is that she is so forthright with her own challenges as an inspiration for her coaching and books. Sabina joined the Greatness Podcast to share her top tips from her new book, You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (And Others Need), taken from 12,000 pages of data from interviews of leader's teams. Practical tools and tactics to offset what she calls the "dual cocktail of power and pressure" abound. "The role of self care is job number one."

How do you know if you are a good boss? Whether you're in the C-Suite or middle management, you're probably not reaching your full potential, according to Sabina Nawaz, Fortune 500 coach and author of You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need). Unfortunately, it's often hard to recognize pitfalls as a boss or know how to address them. Luckily, Nawaz has some ideas. Pulling from over one thousand interviews at Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Motorola, Nordstrom, and the United Nations, Nawaz offers managers advice on how to succeed. Her proprietary data includes over two decades of coaching and in-depth research into the psychology of behavior and relationships. One key finding, she says, is that as our job expands, the added pressure to perform corrupts our actions, and our increased power blinds us to the impact of those actions. No one is immune to this. Even the most well-intentioned manager can quickly become the boss nobody wants to work for. Nawaz offers an in-depth framework for managing pressure and power with grace and intelligence. Knowing if you're a good boss doesn't need to be a mystery. To be a good one, Nawaz says, is to manage yourself and others, navigate working relationships, and communicate effectively. You'll know you're a good boss when you're doing these things, while also experiencing less stress and greater impact, becoming the boss everyone wants to work for. Sabina Nawaz is an elite executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions around the world. Sabina gives dozens of keynotes, seminars, and conferences each year and teaches faculty at Northeastern and Drexel University. During her fourteen-year tenure at Microsoft, she went from managing software development teams to leading the company's executive development and succession planning efforts for over 11,000 managers and nearly a thousand executives, advising Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer directly.

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws sits down with global executive coach and author Sabina Nawaz to discuss the unseen pressures of leadership and how they can unknowingly change the way we lead. Drawing from her own experience as a former Microsoft executive, Nawaz shares how relentless pressure—not power—can corrupt even the most well-intentioned leaders. Through practical strategies, she offers a path forward for leaders to stay connected, self-aware, and intentional in their management approach. Don't let pressure derail your leadership—tune in now to learn how to lead with clarity, connection, and confidence.   TAKEAWAYS Leadership pressure can quietly push managers toward efficiency over empathy, distancing them from their teams. Strengths in previous roles, like efficiency or attention to detail, can be misinterpreted negatively in leadership. Employees often avoid giving honest feedback to leaders, leading to blind spots and poor decisions. When leaders voice their opinions first, others may hesitate to challenge them, creating blind consensus. Small habits, like putting away your phone in meetings, can improve leadership presence and connection. Leaders are always being watched—small actions and reactions can significantly impact team morale. Leadership is about creating an environment where others succeed, not doing all the work yourself.   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

For Sabina she tries to be the third, or later, to speak. Don't treat delegation like an on/off switch, but rather treat it like a dial which is calibrated to people's readiness and ability.

We've always been taught that power corrupts. But lots of people have power and aren't corrupt. What corrupts is pressure.When you're given responsibility for managing other people, often there aren't resources to help you manage yourself. And the pressure that any new or even seasoned manager can feel in their role can be crippling.Sabina Nawaz discovered this firsthand in her executive leadership role at Microsoft. She recounts a harrowing return from maternity leave that left her scrambling to prepare the CEO, and along the way, she found herself becoming a person she didn't recognize.In her new book You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need), Sabina shares an evidence-based framework for managing pressure and power with grace and intelligence, with actionable tips to help you succeed.You can find Timeless Leadership wherever you get podcasts.

The PM also said, quote, "Over the last few years, people's trust has increased in the Indian government. People have trust in the intent and commitment of the Indian government. This was possible only because we prioritised public sentiments in governance."
