Chapters

You can get angry at your kids, for example. You can say the wrong thing and lose your cool, right? Okay, it's not the greatest thing, but if you don't repair, that's where the damage is. And kids, like team members, they need to see the ability of a leader. The leader isn't the one who thinks they're perfect, because no leader is perfect. It's the ability for a leader to say, I got this wrong, let me repair the relationship, let me repair the situation, let me act now in a better way. I misspoke, can I repair this? Most people think they have to be perfect all the time and they get upset because they're not, whereas taking that veil down and realizing Recognizing that no one's perfect and actually calling out your own bullshit and having a laugh about it, I think, creates a much deeper sense, but also creates vulnerability. People actually get to know you.
