How to Set Clear Expectations Without Micromanaging Your Team | Michele Mollard

In this episode of The Founders Hustle, Judy Swafford sits down with Michele Mollard, an EOS leadership coach, to talk about one of the most overlooked skills in leadership: setting clear expectations without becoming a micromanager.

Michele shares why “clear is kind,” how unclear expectations can quietly break team culture, and why great leaders don’t manage personalities — they manage process, accountability, and alignment.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

Building a business takes grit - and that's the story we're here to tell. 

The Founders Hustle  dives into the real, raw, and occasionally ridiculous-but-inspiring stories behind small businesses. From kitchen-table startups to “what-was-I-thinking” moments, this podcast pulls back the curtain on the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship.

It’s honest, unfiltered, and sometimes hilariously relatable. Hosted by Judy Swafford, a lifelong people-curious soul with an insatiable love for stories (and yes, someone who used to read obituaries just to feel connected), this show is fueled by a deep desire to understand what makes people tick. Whether it was a well-planned launch, a total accident, or a beautiful mess of both, every entrepreneurial backstory deserves to be told… and we’re here for it. 

 

REAL PEOPLE - REAL HUSTLE

Honest conversations about how real people build, grow, and keep going.
