Most of us in leadership truly have the desire to be a great leader… sometimes we just need a little help. Being a great leader takes courage and humility. As Brené Brown says in her book, Dare to Lead, “You can’t get to courage without rumbling with vulnerability.”
I’ve heard leaders say some pretty BAD things in times of company transitions or low morale. In reality, saying these things to your employees has shown to cause a lower level of psychological safety, lack of trust in leadership, and lower motivation from employees to do their best work for your company. While you may sometimes feel frustrated as a leader, consider thinking through what you’re going to say or how you’re going to respond to a team member’s questions instead of responding out of anger, shame, or pride.
