Summary
Everybody wants to be seen as a nice person but most people do not realize that being nice is exactly what is holding them back. There is a difference between being kind and being nice and if you do not understand that difference it will cost you your team your standards and your future. In this episode we break down what really happens when you avoid hard conversations keep the wrong people around and say yes when you should be saying no. Being nice feels good in the moment but it slowly erodes everything you are trying to build. This is about leadership. This is about accountability. This is about doing what is necessary even when it is uncomfortable. If you feel stuck in your business or your life this might be the reason why.
