The 3 Mistakes People Make in Hard Conversations (and How to Avoid Them)

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

From the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, this is Entree Leadership. I'm your host, Dave Ramsey, with over 30 years of experience leading in the trenches right alongside you. Most leaders hate having difficult conversations with a team member, but trust me. Avoiding the hard conversations doesn't protect your team. It paralyzes it.

So the best leaders out there don't run from this. They lean in. That's why today John Felkins from the Ontario Leadership Team and one of my board members, Brendan Wojco, will show you exactly how our team has the kind of tough conversations that solve problems, grow trust, and make the business stronger. All right, thanks, Dave. Well, Brendan, we have this conversation all the time about difficult conversations, but I know all of your work on that really kind of started with a story, didn't it?

Your own experience. Yeah. It's like a fun, not fun story, right? It's fun now. It's fun now.
