âThat is where the real shift happened in me: that I need to focus on leaders and leadership development, because if we can get the right leaders in place, then it's going to benefit the entire organization. And it just goes out to all the stakeholders, customers, vendors, everybody. It makes total sense.â
âEverything was in place. You did your best and it failed. The customer said, âNo, thanks. I'm done. Iâm going with somebody else.â So the constructive confrontation means we have to figure out what went wrong and that goes down to the personal level. So if I'm on the team, I'm like, âOkay, what did I do that caused us to fail?ââ
âI've been a firm believer that there should be a certain level of tension in every meeting. But you need to develop that trust and safety first, right before you can have that.â
