Leadership Lesson: If you want to be liked…
“If you want to make everyone happy, Don’t be a leader. Sell ice cream!” – Steve Jobs.
This is the tough truth about leadership.
Most times when you help people, people don’t like it.
At least, at first.
But like a parent, your job as a leader is to do what’s best for your followers..
Not what they “like/want” at the moment.
Rather, what’s best for them long term.
That means you have to make tough decisions and have tough conversations for their future best interest.
Even if it means a short time, they don’t like it or you.
Get used to it as this is the job of a leader.
