90. Should Leaders Be Liked or Respected?
Today’s show is about being respected vs being liked. For so many leaders, myself included at one point, I thought being liked was more important than anything, especially once I was leading a team. I see so many leaders that I coach who struggle with what they know they need to do, because there is a risk that they will rock the boat. They are afraid it will upset some people if they make a tough decision or choose a path that is difficult even if it is the right thing to do. They second guess themselves even if they believe in the hard decision because of how it may impact the way people feel about them. They focus on external validation for everything instead of trusting themselves. All they can think about is what if everyone is upset? What if I make a mistake with this decision? What if I fail? What is more important for a leader to be….liked or respected?
