Treat People Like Adults
You want to GYSHIDO your leadership journey? Absolutely! Treat people like adults.
Sounds simple and obvious? Yes. Sadly, it is far from normal. Too many companies (and their leaders) treat people like irresponsible, immature pencil pushers. Am I too harsh? Consider the hoops companies make you jump through to replace a broken keyboard. Why not trust employees to buy a new keyboard without question?
You solve 80% of a company’s internal challenges by treating everyone as mature, responsible, educated adults—because they are.
