The Leader I Needed with James (Trig) Rosseau, Sr. | Emotional Intelligence, Imposter Syndrome, Mentoring, Servant Leader, New Promoted Manager
Are you a newly promoted manager who got the title, the office, and the responsibility, but nobody actually taught you how to lead people? Do you feel like you’re spending your days babysitting, firefighting, and faking your way through meetings? Are you starting to wonder if imposter syndrome is just your gut telling you the truth?
The Leader I Needed will help you become the people-first leader others actually want to follow. Each episode gives you real tools, honest conversations, and a repeatable system for leading people that produces results without burning you out or forcing you to fake it.
I’m James Rosseau Sr. I spent 20-plus years in corporate leadership, including leading a team of 40 at JPMorgan Chase in New York City. When I stepped into that role, nobody handed me a playbook. My office was a closet nobody had cleaned out. I made the mistakes. I led from my desk when I should have been leading from the hallway. What changed everything was a simple shift: I stopped managing tasks and started investing in people. I learned that emotional intelligence wasn’t a soft skill, it was THE skill. And I spent the next two decades refining that philosophy across leadership roles, consulting engagements, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Now I’m building the show I needed back then, for the leader you’re becoming right now.
If you are ready to stop feeling like a fraud in your own role, start building real trust with your team, and finally lead with a system instead of survival mode, this is the podcast for you.
Grab your coffee, close your office door, and let’s get to work.
