TOUGH CONVERSATIONS
If you ask any ten leaders what’s the hardest part of their job, I’ll bet that 9 of them will say some version of “giving bad news.” From firing people to having serious performance conversations, from letting employees know the company’s not doing well to explaining a screw-up to the press, these are the times that try men’s (and women’s) souls, situations that make most leaders want to go home and pull the covers up over their heads. In this episode of The Proteus Leader Show on C-Suite TV, Tough Conversations, we’ll offer some tools and insight because navigating these situations well is a defining characteristic of truly followable and inspiring leaders. When a leader is straightforward in saying the toughest stuff, people assume (rightly) that he or she will be courageous in all kinds of essential ways: making difficult decisions; taking responsibility for them; apologizing for mistakes. In other words, delivering bad news well demonstrates personal courage: it shows that you will do things that are personally uncomfortable or difficult for the good of the enterprise. Here’s “Tough Conversations” from the The Proteus Leader Show on C-Suite TV.
