Louis Massaro argues leaders should coach and critique employees like legendary sports coaches John Wooden and Vince Lombardi did. Critique works when it comes from caring, not anger, and confronting poor performance is a coaching opportunity, not a punishment.
Any good coach brings the best out of people, whether it's a, you know, John Wooden or Vince Lombardi. Like, they bring the best out of people. That's why you see great coaches come in and take teams that are okay and really get them to that next level. Coach them, critique them. Right. We can't be afraid to critique our team and let them know where they can make improvements. And if you feel that feeling of like, I don't want confrontation, a lot of us have that. I mean, I feel it come up when I know I need to say something to somebody about their performance that's not something positive. I feel it come up where I don't necessarily want to say it, but I know it's a coaching opportunity. And if I come from a place of caring, if I come from a place of true coaching and not from a place of anger or resentment, I'm going to help them see a better way of doing things and they're going to get on track.
