In business, can you get respect without being ruthless?
Can you command a team without being commanding? Do entrepreneurs need a mean streak to survive — or even a cold one?
It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener with a team that basically walks all over them. For some reason, the employees are not showing our listener the respect due to their position as founder. Can a leader change this without getting…mean?
We think so, and today we explain why.
In this episode, we’ll share what can motivate even the kindest person to take a stand, get their team in line, and secure the appropriate level of respect. You can stand up for yourself without being selfish; you can establish order without aggression. You just need to adjust your mindset.
