Whatever you allow, you encourage.
Tough love time:
The best leaders are not those that make everyone happy.
Let that sink in — the best leaders are not those that make everybody happy.
If you are a leader, it’s your responsibility to mold the culture, set the boundary, have the uncomfortable conversation.
Don’t believe the lie that you can ignore a problem and it will disappear. It won’t. Instead of becoming the out-of-place behavior, it will become the common behavior. It will become the culture.
Whatever you allow, you encourage.
