When change is moving faster than your team can process, clarity becomes the leadership move that holds everything together.

Rosie sits down with Carajane Searcy Moore, President and Partner of Big Hunt Sales, to unpack what it really means to step up and step in as a leader. Carajane shares how she was unexpectedly thrust into leadership after major personal and business challenges, and how that experience shaped her passion for helping leaders create clarity, alignment, and measurable expectations.

Together, Rosie and Carajane explore why so many change efforts fail, the critical role of middle managers, how to "complain up" instead of down, and why vague leadership requests create confusion instead of accountability. From the black pen, red pen strategy to the reminder that "general requests create failure," this conversation is packed with practical wisdom for people-first leaders navigating growth, change, and the messy humanity of work.
