“My team just doesn’t get it.”

Ever heard a manager say this?

“My team just doesn’t get it.”
In a session last week, a manager admitted, “Honestly, I feel like my employees are just... stupid.”
Oof. That’s a tough one to hear, so we got curious.
What came up next was the important layer to peel to..

Underneath that frustration was a deeper truth:
➡️ He felt unsupported.
➡️ He was drowning in pressure.
➡️ He didn’t know how to actually communicate what he needed.

It wasn’t about his team. It was about his disconnect from multiple layers in his life: himself, others, what kind of leader he wanted to be.

We didn’t jump to feedback models or performance plans.
We started with awareness. Ownership. Compassion.
Because in this situation, the leap was from blame to self-inquiry.
✨ From “they don’t get it”, we moved to “what am I not seeing?”
That’s where growth begins.

Ever had a moment like that, on either side of the conversation?
