People mistake criticism of their work for personal attacks, which keeps them stuck. Leaders who overload teams with too many tasks confuse them and risk the business. Separating feedback about what you made from feedback about who you are changes everything.
you're going to make shitty decisions, right? Yeah. You're going to make decisions that enable you to feel safe. And for some people, that's, I'm only allowed to feel happiness. For some people, that is, nothing is ever allowed to be good enough. These manifest in slightly different ways. But if, you know, in order to hear feedback well and make good decisions, you have to be able to understand that what you're hearing Is not about the story that you're making up. Wow, this person said they don't like the product and I'm hearing I'm a terrible person that no one is ever going to love ever again. Right? That's what they said. Yeah. What they said was, hey, your team is confused because you're telling them to do 20 things. They can't do 20 things. That doesn't mean that they don't love you. That means that if you keep doing the same thing, you will run out of money.
