Who Protects the Team?

Recorded on January 8th, 2023, this episode of Off The Script centers on leadership—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters.

Darrell and Darren discuss why leaders should stand up for their teams instead of standing back. The conversation explores accountability, responsibility, and what happens when authority lacks protection and support.

Darren also shares personal reflections about situations that unfolded at church (first names only), adding another layer to the discussion about leadership, influence, and integrity beyond the workplace.

Darrell speaks candidly about his experiences at work, including dealing with what he describes as malignant narcissism and the impact it has on team dynamics and morale.

This episode asks a hard question: When pressure rises, who protects the people doing the work?

Honest. Direct. Unscripted.
