Episode 6: Evolve – Keep Growing, Keep Building

If your leadership can’t adapt, it can’t advance.

In this final step of the M.I.L.E.™ framework, Masi and Shannon explore Evolve—the architectural mindset of leadership that doesn’t settle for what’s built, but keeps growing what’s possible. In leadership, just like in architecture, no building is ever truly finished. Ongoing maintenance, strategic upgrades, and regular renovations are essential to stay relevant and resilient.

Evolving isn’t about scaling up—it’s about staying healthy while you grow. Leaders who evolve are not just builders, they’re stewards. They don’t cling to old systems or get seduced by shiny expansion—they cultivate rhythms of reflection, feedback, and continuous improvement.

This episode also dives into the “Team Kryptonite” tool from the 5 Voices framework—because silent patterns and overlooked issues can rot a strong foundation from the inside out. If you don’t name them, they will quietly sabotage your team’s future.

You’ll take away:

  • What it really means to evolve your leadership, not just extend it

  • How to use feedback as a renovation tool, not a demolition wrecking ball

  • Five silent team killers (Team Kryptonite) and how to spot them

  • How to build rhythms that protect culture while creating space for innovation

  • The mindset difference between leaders who grow and leaders who just go

This episode reminds leaders that healthy cultures don’t coast—they renovate. Strong teams don’t stall—they evolve.

Final Challenge:
If the future of your team depended on your ability to evolve—what’s one area you need to upgrade starting today?
