Well, you’re not alone. Oftentimes, good leaders find themselves on the fringes of popularity because in leadership… YOU CAN’T MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY! We have to be courageous and willing to risk making unpopular decisions.
As a recovering people pleaser I had to learn this lesson the hard way in the SEAL Teams. If you try to make everyone like you…. beware, you will compromise your identity, integrity and ruin the credibility and respect others had for you.
