A short YouTube message from Rick White warning business owners and leaders that they often miss important signals from their team, clients, and the workplace (e.g., frustrated tone, hesitations, a dirty bay, degrading documentation). He cautions against inventing stories about out-of-character behavior, urges reinforcing boundaries, and reminds listeners that the business is constantly communicating — so leaders must listen.

They're missing vital signals coming from their team, their clients, and basically just how their business is doing. The more you focus on execution, the less you have a sense of what's going on around you.

This is dangerous and everybody does it is you make up stories when you have someone that's acting out of character and that this is not okay. Reinforce your boundaries. Remember, your business is always communicating. Are you listening?
