No Bullsh!t Leadership

Moment #29: Balancing Banter With Boundaries


Listen Later

Moment #29 // Having close friends is one of life’s ultimate joys. But, as a leader, that’s the last thing you want. Being friends with someone who works for you dilutes your objectivity. And no matter how much you think you can overcome this, the reality is… you can’t!

When friendliness turns into friendship, the unintended consequences are counterproductive to everything you want to achieve, as a leader.


You can take a deeper dive into these insights by listening to Ep.197: Why Can't We Be Friends?.
