## Resource

In Episode 769 of The 7 Minute Leadership Podcast, Paul Falavolito introduces the powerful "Gates of Leadership" analogy, showing how employees can drift into patterns like poor performance, absenteeism, gossip, and complacency, while reminding leaders that these behaviors are choices, not permanent identities. Learn how effective leadership helps people push back through those gates and return to becoming engaged, accountable, high performing employees.
