Too Much of A Good Thing Gets In the Way of Your Leadership with Gene Hammett at Core Elevation

In this episode, I discuss the complexities of leadership and the drawbacks of excessive niceness. Drawing from my experience as an executive coach, I illustrate how being overly compassionate can hinder accountability and effectiveness, using a client's transition to private equity as a case study.
I emphasize the importance of self-awareness and encourage feedback tools, like 360-degree reviews, to identify blind spots. Ultimately, I highlight the necessity for leaders to evolve by balancing firmness and compassion to effectively guide their teams. Tune in for insights to enhance your leadership approach.
