Are you the boss your staff feel safe with—or the one they’re recovering from?

In this episode of The Childcare Director’s Chair, we explore how leadership impacts staff stress, why educators often carry past workplace trauma into new roles, and five common leadership habits that quietly damage team culture.

This is a real, honest look at how directors can unintentionally create anxiety—and how small shifts can build trust, safety, and retention.
