If you’re seeking validation more than you’re seeking to lead, every challenge will feel like a personal attack.

I know because I was doing exactly that. I needed people to like me more than I needed to lead them.

I was so busy worrying about what they thought of me that I wasn’t paying attention to what they needed from me.

How much of what you’re calling a leadership struggle is actually a need for approval?

“We can’t afford to lose you in this role.”

It’s flattering until you realize it’s the answer every time you bring up your next career move.

So you take on more. Cover another absence. Fix another problem.& ;

Hoping this will finally be enough to show you’re ready for that promotion.

But before you add anything else to your workload, ask whether it gives you experience, authority or visibility that actually supports your next move.

Tell me, what happens when you bring up your next role: a concrete conversation, more praise, or “not right now”?

“I might as well do it myself.”Probably true for the thing that’s due tomorrow. But how many things have you stopped han...

“I might as well do it myself.”

Probably true for the thing that’s due tomorrow.

But how many things have you stopped handing over because you’re convinced they’ll come back wrong?

Before you decide you can’t rely on your team, it’s worth looking at whether you’ve been delegating or abdicating.

The two can look surprisingly similar.

I wrote about the difference, and what needs to happen before you can expect a different result.

“Isn’t that what I just said?”

Yes, it’s infuriating to watch the room get behind your idea only after someone else repeats it.

When you know your subject inside out, it’s easy to feel you need to explain everything before you’ve earned the right to make a recommendation.

You’ve done the work. You can lead with what you think we should do.

Save this for your next meeting. And send it to the friend you’ve exchanged THAT look with across the conference table.

You finally say what needed to be said. They get upset. And suddenly you’re wondering if you were too harsh.

So you soften it. Explain it again. Start taking parts of it back.

Before you do, ask yourself: am I simply uncomfortable with their reaction, or did I communicate harshly?

There’s a difference. If you were harsh, apologize for how you said it and say it differently.

If you’re uncomfortable, listen, care about how your message landed, and give them time to respond without taking back a message that needed to be said.

If high EQ communication matters to you as a leader, follow along. You’ve found the right account.

You know you need to say something. But they bring in business, your clients love them, and replacing them would be a nightmare.

So you let it go. Again.

Meanwhile, the rest of your team still has to work with them.

Having the conversation doesn’t mean you want them gone. You want the behaviour to change.

And you need to know how to address it without backing down the moment they push back.

In the Lead Your Business Masterclass, I’ll teach you the four core elements of my LEAD System so you can come up with a plan for the conversation you’ve been putting off.

Join me live on October 15 at 12 p.m. ET.

Comment CEO and I’ll send you the details and link to join.

“You’re not leadership material.”

That’s a heck of a conclusion to draw about someone who’s never been taught how to lead.

Hard conversations. Staying composed. Resolving conflict.

These are skills you learn and practise.

Give yourself the chance to get good at them.

And if you need help, DM me the word BENTLEY and let’s talk.

Before your next meeting, decide: what is the one thing I need people to understand, and how can I make it as easy as possible for them to agree with me?

Build your message around that.

You know way more than you need to say.

Having the judgment to choose what matters is what makes you a leader worth listening to.
