❓ When did you last decide, knowing that half the people would dislike it?

A managing director, years ago: “I know what’s right. I just don’t dare do it. Half my team will hate it.”

Leadership does not mean everyone likes you. Leadership means standing behind the decision that is right.

Perhaps you are postponing one like that. The weekend is a good moment for an honest look.

Every week, I ask a weekend question that could change your game.
