Hard isn't the problem. Avoiding it is. Here's how leaders get this wrong - in both directions.

Somewhere along the way, we started treating discomfort like a warning sign instead of evidence that we're doing something that matters. In this episode, I break down why hard is part of the job, how to calibrate the push for your team, and what to do when someone's struggling not because they're weak - but because they're in the wrong seat.

I cover:
- Why we've been sold a lie about discomfort at work
- The reality that business pressure isn't going away
- How to know when to push and when to let the team breathe
- The difference between stretching someone and breaking them
- Why moving someone out of a role isn't failure - avoiding the conversation is
- How to lead hard conversations without leading with judgment

If you've been wondering whether you're pushing too hard or not hard enough, this one's for you.
