In this solo episode, Jason explores with a question that sounds simple until you look at it closely. What does it look like to care for someone as their leader? He talks through why care at work has to look different from the care we show at home because the relationship has specific purpose. And he highlights the moments when the most caring thing a leader can do is to step into a difficult conversation with the employee.

Key highlights from the conversation:

➡️ Why the way we care for the people we love outside of work can actually backfire when we bring it to the people we lead

➡️ The mistake Jason has watched leaders make hundreds of times, avoiding a hard conversation because they mistakenly think that keeping employees comfortable is the kind thing to do

➡️ A moment from Jason's own career when avoiding the hard conversation was making things worse

➡️ What leaders should do to truly care for their people in a way that supports their performance and engagement at work
