You don’t need to like me. I’d like you to, but it’s ok if you don’t.

I’ve lived most of my life feeling like an imposter, digging my own hole, waiting for somebody else to tell me I was good enough. Then I realized I was holding the shovel. Then I realized I was also holding a ladder.

Now here’s what I tell every leader I coach: being liked as a leader is not your job. Being trusted and respected is. And the leaders who try hardest at being liked as a leader are the ones who quietly destroy both.

🎧 Press play. Put the shovel down.

In this episode:

▶ Why you don’t have to like me, and why I’m okay with that
▶ The imposter feeling I lived with most of my life
▶ Digging your own hole, and the moment you realize you’re holding the shovel
▶ Why being liked as a leader is not the job
▶ The four things a leader’s job actually is

If you’ve been trading honest decisions for the comfort of being liked as a leader, this one’s for you.
