Stop Kicking the Can

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

Bob knew he needed to have a difficult conversation with a member of his team. The behavior was clear, the impact was real, and the conversation was overdue. But every time he thought about it, the same movie played in his head. The team member gets defensive, shuts down, and walks out the door. So he delayed. And while the team member didn't leave, the behavior stayed. "Most of the conversations you are avoiding aren't going to end the way you think. Slay the fear and have them." The thing Bob feared most never happened. This episode is about the false evidence you've been treating as fact. 📖 Grab the book: Optimistic Outlook on Amazon
