When to Let Go: Leadership Lessons for Work, Habits, and Relationships

At some point, we all find ourselves holding on to something we know isn't working.A habit. A relationship. A team member.And we have really good reasons for it. Fear, convenience, comparison, not wanting to rock the boat.But what if the cost of holding on is higher than the cost of letting go?In this episode, I sit down with Jacob Brown, author of Avocado Leadership and one of the speakers at this year's Intentional Leader Summit. We dig into a principle he calls slow to hire, quick to fire, and we take it way beyond the workplace.In this episode we talk about:Why leaders hold on to toxic team members longer than they should, and what it's actually costing themHow the behavior you tolerate as a leader defines the culture you createThe "I know, I'm not, I'm open" framework for having courageous conversationsWhy boundaries aren't rules you set for other peopleHow to stop holding on out of fear, convenience, or sunk costConnect with Jacob Brown:Avocado Leadership Book: https://failforwardbrown.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobaaronbrown/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialjakebrown/Intentional Leader Summit:Jacob is speaking this year.
