Rajesh Nagjee joins Cam and Otis on the 10x Your Team Podcast to challenge one of the most common leadership assumptions: that control creates results.
Drawing from his experience across family enterprise, healthcare, and executive coaching, Rajesh explains why most leaders unintentionally turn their teams into vendors by delegating tasks instead of ownership. He breaks down how trust, transparency, and clear outcomes, not processes, are what actually create alignment and performance.
From storytelling and values to business physics and delegation, this episode explores a radically different way to lead: one built on consensus, clarity, and freedom within guardrails.
