What employees don’t tell their managers—but feel every day.
What Your Team Won’t Tell You: The 7 Management Fails to Avoid
A practical guide to recognizing the leadership behaviors that drive people away—and how to change them.
Most employees won’t tell you what’s really wrong. Not because they don’t care—but because it doesn’t feel safe to say it.
In What Your Team Won’t Tell You, Tanya Uyigue brings together real insights from hundreds of coaching conversations to reveal what’s quietly hurting your team, and practical steps to take to improve things.
If you want a team that trusts you, stays, and performs, this starts here.

When we change the focus from ‘how I lead’ to ‘what they need,’ we build space and support for everyone to become the best version of their professional selves that they can.

Why I Wrote This Book
“I didn’t intend for this to be my first book.
As a WorkpLace strategist, Speaker and coach, I help people navigate challenging workplaces, frustration in their career and how to manage reporting to leaders who don’t value them. It would make sense for my first book to speak directly to that audience, but our workplaces won’t improve without everyone doing their part to make them better.
People have told me repeatedly that they wish their managers would watch my videos, that they wish they could share what they think and how they feel without retaliation.
In What Your Team Won’t Tell You: The 7 Management Fails to Avoid, I bring feedback from over 500 hours of coaching conversations, over 130,000 online supporters and countless DMs. People want to thrive at work and they want better relationships with leadership. Managers who are open to that feedback and want to grow right along with their staff will find this book insightful and just what they need to make even small changes to the way they lead.”
