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!
A friend in your team will take advantage of your good nature… and you’ll cut them more slack than you should. It’s not intentional, but it is unavoidable. This kills the meritocracy culture.
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?.
