The Hidden Assumptions That Are Sabotaging Your Leadership

Every day, unrecognized assumptions are sabotaging your leadership and preventing your team from making meaningful progress. Change is relational, not technical, and most leaders get it wrong. I sat down with Jeff Wetherhold, a master of Motivational Interviewing, to unpack this. He explains how to uncover The Hidden Assumptions That Are Sabotaging Your Leadership by using a simple technique: asking fewer questions and offering more reflections. We dive into why people are ambivalent about change , the psychological "binary bias" that traps us , and how embracing short-term discomfort leads to long-term growth. This is an essential conversation for any leader who wants to stop fighting resistance and start facilitating real change.
