Dora Vanourek, a leading executive coach, emphasizes that successful leadership is about earning respect through difficult decisions rather than seeking popularity. Too accommodating leaders often miss pivotal moments that can strengthen teams, allowing small issues to escalate. Instead, real leadership involves establishing boundaries for teams and clients, protecting their time and fostering a strong, results-focused culture. Holding back to avoid conflict can frustrate top performers and ultimately stall business growth, highlighting the importance of prioritizing what is right over what is easy.
Your role is to build something meaningful and guide your people to success. When you focus on being liked, you create a weak culture.
You might be too accommodating with your clients. When every request is 'urgent' and every favor is 'just this once,' you're teaching others to ignore your team's processes.
