Bad Boss Confessional

13: How Process Turns Chaos into Clarity

15 Oct 2025

Description

Do you think of “process” as boring, rigid, or suffocating? In this episode of Bad Boss Confessional, host Beth Fahey sits down with Lisa Gonzalez, EOS Implementer, lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, and co-author of Process: How Discipline and Consistency Will Set You and Your Business Free. Lisa shares her most cringeworthy leadership moment of secretly creating a six-inch binder of hyper-detailed processes that her team ignored, a project fueled by fear and perfectionism. She reveals the painful lessons behind costly missteps, why buy-in matters more than binders, and how compassion and progress over perfection can transform leadership.   Chapters 00:00 Introducing Lisa Gonzalez 04:09 The Cost of Lacking Process 09:46 Compassion, Perfection, and Process 14:32 Getting Processes Followed by All 22:58 Personal Process Challenges & Wisdom   About: Beth Fahey is a leadership coach, Expert EOS Implementer, and co-creator of the How to Be a Great Boss Workshops.
