Gary Vaynerchuk says we should build high self esteem in others, but not to the point of delusion, in this leadership and parenting tip.
As I reflected on his recent podcast, I realised this tip is as appropriate for leadership as it is for parenting.
It does make you think. As we try to help others build their motivation, commitment and self belief, we often try to boost them way beyond their capabilities, skills and potential.
I am all for positivity but to take any other individual to the point of delusion is both unfair and unhelpful. Far better to help them build theirĀ self-awareness, mindfulness, honesty and truth.
Have a listen and let me know what you think…
