You usually don’t win with the home runs – winning happens in the inches. In this episode, I introduce you to “small-ball leadership”: the strategy of making tiny, intentional moves that stack up, instead of swinging for the fences every time.

Here’s what we will talk about:

⚾️ Why the big spectacular moves aren’t what separate the winners — they’re the everyday, barely-noticed decisions that do.

⚾️ How small-ball leadership shows up: clarifying expectations, asking one more question, choosing humility over ego.

⚾️ The ego trap of always trying to hit a home run, and how to replace that with consistent inch-by-inch progress.

✨ Because leadership isn’t about monumental heroics, it’s about showing up in the little moments and winning by inches.
