“If he would simply listen, we wouldn’t have these issues.”
“The choice is so obvious, right?”
“Trust me, I’ve seen this before and am clear on what we should do next.”
Over the years I’ve struggled with judging others. Maybe you have as well. Part of that is human nature (I think) and part is based on serving in leadership roles for the last 30 years where I’ve been asked to make important decisions about the direction of the organization.
That can be a heavy burden at times.
Where do we find the balance between judging others and getting caught up in our own hubris? Do we even notice when we’ve crossed that line; or, are we simply so special that the ‘line’ doesn’t apply to us?
It’s a slippery slope, as we all work with bright people who see right through those of us that bullrush their opinions through with little awareness of the impact on the team.
When have you seen leaders go too far…all caught up in their own echo chamber of ‘the right way to do things?’
What was the result?
Thanks for being here.
