Most direct reports want their leader to make them feel special. Seems reasonable.

Most leaders want their direct reports to make them feel special. Seems reasonable.

The harsh reality is no one goes first.

It’s a waiting game that never gets solved.

That is, until you solve it for yourself.

Be the one to go first.

And keep doing it.

Be prepared to feel taken advantage of for your niceness. Few humans are present enough to understand the time and emotional labor investment.

But those who are more present, they are the ones to have the highest investment returns.
