I want you to consider starting more conversations--they're almost always ones about struggling performance you've avoiding, right? The tiny things you avoid (and don't talk about) turn into big problems. Listen for tips on how to start these conversations.

You’ll learn why some leaders use "high standards" as a shield for micromanagement, how this mindset undermines trust and innovation, and what to do instead to build a culture of sustainable performance.
