When you encounter a problem in life or business, it can be tempting to sweep things under the rug or pretend challenges don’t exist, like when there is trouble with a team member. We do this for many reasons; because we don’t want to deal with having to replace someone, we’re afraid they will quit, or it just seems too daunting to have a tough conversation, especially if they are a high performer. This week, Hallie and I talk about how a large part of leadership is being able to identify a problem, then take steps to solve the problem from a place of clarity. Have fierce conversations, gather information, and take action so you can course-correct before it becomes an even bigger issue. We also talk about how having challenges in your team doesn’t necessarily mean you are doing anything wrong and how it’s a universal issue — even when it comes to some of our most respected sports heroes.
