A short spoken segment (YouTube) arguing that once someone is a leader they must champion the organization’s decisions publicly and not complain about them inside the company. The speaker warns that internal complaining (to direct reports or peers) causes disengagement, signals a lack of commitment to the company, and should be treated as part of a leader’s responsibilities (the speaker even suggests it should appear in job descriptions). The advice distinguishes ideation/brainstorming from post-decision distribution, teaching, and support.

Chapters

Ultimately, a leader's job, other than leading and helping people grow, is to champion the organization no matter what the decision is. Period. You are not an individual contributor anymore. You if you have complaints, go take them to your personal relationships. Because if you start complaining within a company, especially to your direct reports or to your peers, you will one give them a reason to disengage from the company. So you will give them a reason to be unhappy. And you will also be seen as someone that does not go not interested in championing and growing with the company itself. It should be in the job description. I don't know if you've seen any job description that lists this as a bullet. Bullet point. Must champion and be positive about what the company chooses to do. Not in the ideation or brainstorming process, but in the distribution and teaching and the explaining and the support. Once a change is made.
