The One Thing Every Team Wants to Hear: Tough Conversations in Leadership
Manage episode 508014314 series 3516965
What if the trust, growth, and future of your team depended on addressing the one issue you’re most afraid to talk about?
In this episode of Veteran Led, John S. Berry, U.S. Army Veteran and CEO of Berry Law, reveals why leaders must face tough conversations head-on. Drawing lessons from military command structures and his own experience leading teams in business, John explains how silence erodes trust, slows growth, and pushes good people out the door.
He shares the story of tolerating incompetence at a key leadership level—and the heavy price paid when no one had the courage to speak up. From the battlefield to the boardroom, the message is the same: leaders must shape the narrative or risk losing it.
Key takeaways:
- Why fear keeps leaders from addressing the obvious
- The cost of ignoring incompetence on your team
- Why silence creates more problems than open dialog
- How military leadership balances support and open discussion
- Why shaping the narrative is every leader’s responsibility
