Early in my career, I fell into the trap of authority bias, believing leaders were infallible and unquestionable. It wasn’t until I stepped into a leadership role myself that I realized how much leaders rely on their teams to manage up effectively. We all make mistakes, and creating an environment where feedback flows freely—rooted in empathy, as you describe—helps everyone grow and achieve better outcomes.
Sometimes, people suck up because of "how a place presents itself". The best form of management is empathy and that's how to also become a trusted advisor.
So I guess less sympathy and affection and more empathy and consideration right Collete? .
That's a very lovely way to put it my friend. And the line of business and creativity I don't think we are ever meant to have sympathy; I mean that's an attribute that will land you on a zero scale. But empathy is the connection we need to thrive and you put everything in here so perfectly and wonderfully.
