898. Liking Your Team vs. Loving Your Team, and Why Only One of Them Is Your Job

Brian discusses a sentence he thinks every leader should be willing to say out loud: I will not like you all the same, but I will love you all the same. Half of that makes most leaders uncomfortable, because we have been trained to pretend every person on our team lands on us exactly the same way. They don't. Brian separates liking, which is involuntary, from loving, which is a decision you make on purpose and then make again the next day. He looks at what goes wrong in both directions: the leader who performs evenness until their feedback becomes useless, and the leader who quietly lets preference decide who gets coached and who gets managed. Along the way he draws on Bill Campbell and on Reed Hastings' argument that a company is a team and not a family. Brian also discusses how to find out today whether you have been favoring someone. -- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.
