Stop Being So Scared to Tell Someone Something Important

People don't want to tell people the truth because they're scared of hurting people's feelings. I see this on every single team that I'm working with, whether they're employees, whether they're on a sports team. They're scared to tell someone else the truth that they know the person needs to know. You know, if you tell someone the truth about something, it's because you care. Why would you not want to tell them the truth? And the reason is simple and it's normal. People don't want to cause friction. They don't want to create conflict where it doesn't already exist. And you got to be a strong core, self-centered leader who's focused on what you're doing to be able to have the strength and and the ability and the skill to be able to communicate to someone else that you care about something that they're missing. And I think the leaders who can do this, they have such an edge against everyone else out there who's not doing it, who sweeps it under the rug, who's not empowering the people that they're working with.
