As people who are listening to this are are feeling inspired to do this. I I am sure a percentage of our audience is feeling a little scared because I don't think, you know, employees ever realize how often we get fired and and truly like the trauma business owners go through in terms of when they hire the wrong fit and then apply these principles to it. So like as as a leader opens themselves up and becomes us like the servant leader and is pouring into their people, how do they distinguish and protect themselves against the individuals, those few and far between who are truly dis destructive on a lesser dramatic extent, just not aligned? Does that hurt or help those relationships? I'm kind of curious from your perspective if that approach is something that sets us up for failure or if there's a way to help protect us or is there a way that accelerates the understanding? Tell me what you think about that.
