The CEO Sage

Today I'm sharing an important observation I've made from numerous clients over the years. It's a phrase that we most likely all use. It's insidious, and it's ineffective. And the chances are extremely good that eliminating it from your vocabulary will have a positive impact on your team and your ability to get the results you want.

What you'll learn from this episode:

1. What the insidious phrase is.
2. Why this phrase puts your employees in the position of being responsible for YOUR emotional health.
3. How this phrase reminds you and your employees that they're in charge.
4. A suggestion for a more productive phrase to use instead.
