The Standard You Don't Enforce

Most people think avoiding confrontation is the mature, patient thing to do. It's not. It's one of the most expensive habits you can have. For six months, someone on my team wasn't hitting the standard I'd set. I noticed every single time. And I said nothing. I told myself I was being reasonable, but I was just choosing my own comfort over something I said I cared about. Today I'm talking about what that silence actually cost me, what Nick Saban understood about standards that most leaders get wrong, why Pixar had to build an entire system just to get people to say what they actually thought, and why the conversations you keep putting off don't get easier with time. They just get heavier.
