Leadership Through Storytelling – Real Leadership From the Front Lines
Most leadership isn’t learned in classrooms.
It’s learned under pressure—during conflict, responsibility, and real-time decisions.
Leadership Through Storytelling supports emerging and frontline leaders through authentic, story-driven episodes set in fast-paced environments like QSR, retail, healthcare, and beyond.
This channel is for managers promoted quickly, expected to lead immediately, and figuring it out as they go.
You’ll find real workplace stories exploring conflict, accountability, emotional intelligence, and growth—grounded in proven frameworks, without lectures or jargon.
If you’re leading your first team or learning how to lead under pressure, these stories are here to help you think clearly, respond intentionally, and grow into a leader people trust.

🚀 The Evolution of Our Story: From Idea to Unexpected Journey!
Hello amazing leaders and subscribers! 👋
I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey this channel has been on, and to thank each and every one of you for being a part of it.
When I first launched, I had one core idea for this space: to explore the essential connection between leadership and storytelling.
Now, after reaching 20 videos total, the transformation is almost night and day. If you compare the depth and quality of our most recent videos to the first few, the difference is truly evident! I've been learning and pushing to improve with every upload.
Where We Started vs. Where We're Going
The channel has evolved in ways I never initially planned:
Then: Purely leadership storytelling.
Now: We've introduced accompanying music videos that aim to deepen the emotional connection and resonance of the stories.
Next: I'm thrilled to share that very soon, you can expect our stories to feature full, bespoke music soundtracks! This will elevate the production and immersion to a whole new level.
Seeing our community grow to over 11,000 subscribers and generate 70,000 views is humbling. It reinforces my belief that we are collectively creating something truly valuable—a space where young leaders can find stories they can prescribe to or deeply relate to as they navigate their own journeys.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your support, your views, and your belief in this vision.
A Quick Question for You:
I’m always reading your comments and feedback, and I'd love to hear from you right here on the community board!
Which of the 20 videos so far has resonated with you the most, and why?
Let's keep the conversation going!

The Sound of Leadership — More Than Just a Playlist
🎧 Leadership Through Story: The Sound of Leadership
There’s a rhythm to leadership.
It’s not just in what we say — it’s in how we show up, how we listen, and how we lead when no one’s watching.
This playlist isn’t about titles or authority — it’s about the heartbeat of leadership.
Each track blends story, rhythm, and reflection — turning real-life moments into soundtracks of growth, courage, and authenticity.
Because leadership isn’t something you memorize.
It’s something you feel, live, and learn through experience.
If you’re a new or emerging leader trying to find your voice — this is for you.
Each story, each beat, each lyric is a reminder that leadership isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about staying present… growing through the process… and finding your rhythm in the noise.
🎙️ Press play — and let the sound of leadership remind you why you lead.

🚀 We’ve Evolved: From The Overwhelmed Management Series to Leadership Through Storytelling
Hey everyone — big news! 🎬
After months of growth, reflection, and hearing your stories, this channel is evolving. What started as The Overwhelmed Management Series has now become Leadership Through Storytelling — a space built to help emerging and experienced leaders alike see themselves in the story.
This new name reflects our real mission:
👉 Turning real-life management challenges into powerful stories that teach, heal, and inspire.
👉 Using relatable workplace experiences — from pizza shops to boardrooms — to show how leadership really happens.
👉 Continuing to create a place where growth, empathy, and accountability meet.
The purpose hasn’t changed — the clarity has.
Thank you for being part of this journey. The best chapters are still ahead. 🌱

Leadership Through Storytelling
Hello everyone, reaching out to give everyone a heads up that the name change will be done in the next 2 days. As the channel continues to evolve, I've realized our message has grown beyond "Overwhelmed Management". It's become something bigger. There's something about how stories can teach, heal, and build better leaders. The new name will be "Leadership Through Storytelling". Also, I am working on making my storied videos into music versions of the stories. I will have a new playlist that will include the music. Looking forward all thoughts and comments.

Leadership Through Storytelling
Hey everyone — it’s Dave here.
I just want to take a moment to say thank you. When I started The Overwhelmed Management Series, my goal was simple: to help leaders, managers, and everyday people find clarity in chaos — to make leadership feel real, relatable, and human again.
Because of you — your comments, your shares, and your encouragement — this community has grown faster than I ever imagined. I’m deeply grateful for each of you who believed in what we’re building here.
As the channel continues to evolve, I’ve realized our message has grown beyond “overwhelmed management.” It’s become something bigger — something about how stories can teach, heal, and build better leaders.
So, I’ll be changing the channel name to:
🎬 Leadership Through Storytelling
Nothing else is changing — same mission, same style, same heart. You’ll still get the same leadership stories that blend real-world lessons with practical growth — just under a name that better reflects where we’re headed.
I wanted to give everyone a heads-up before it happens so when you see the new name on your subscriptions list, you’ll know it’s still us — same journey, same community.
Thank you for helping this project come alive. I can’t wait to share what’s next.
— Dave
