Episode 207: Overcoming The 3 Biggest Problems Caused By "Nice Guy/Nice Gal Syndrome"

I know a few things about you:

You care deeply about people.

You want your teachers to feel supported.

You want parents to be happy.

You want students to feel safe.

You don’t enjoy conflict, and you certainly don’t want anyone to think you are mean, unreasonable or difficult.

Those are good qualities!

But sometimes our desire to “be nice” prevents us from doing what leadership requires:

We delay a difficult conversation.

We soften an important message until nobody understands it.

We say yes when we desperately need to say no.

Today, I want to help you remain kind, caring and compassionate without allowing your need for approval to weaken your leadership.
