How to encourage your team to tell you the truth as a leader

You are a CEO and want to be told the truth…

But you are surrounded by scared people.*

They’re scared they’ll get things wrong. Scared they might lose their jobs. Scared they won’t be able to pay their rent.

So you ask for people’s opinion, but they tell you want you want to hear.

That’s the reality of being a leader.

The more senior you are the harder it is. When you are THE Boss (CEO/founder)…

Then what?

Talk to peers in the same situation. Get a coach.

Dassit.
