If you’ve ever avoided giving feedback because you didn’t want to come off as “mean,” I get it. I’ve been there too. But let me be real with you—silence isn’t empathy, it’s sabotage.
In this quick-hit episode, I’m sharing a real story from one of my clients (names changed, of course) that drove this lesson home in the hardest way. The takeaway? When we avoid hard conversations, we’re not protecting our team—we’re protecting ourselves from discomfort. And that’s not leadership.
Here’s what I cover:
- Why not speaking up can quietly wreck your business
- How to stop treating feedback like a confrontation and start using it as a contribution
- A mindset shift that makes tough talks way less terrifying (think flashlight, not flamethrower)
- What your team actually needs from you—and it’s not approval
