Listen "Are Humans Evolved for Truth or for Survival?"
Episode Synopsis
You’re in a meeting.You ask a straight question.You get a… fuzzy answer.It happens all the time, especially in leadership.Here’s a lens I’ve found incredibly useful when coaching CEOs:Are humans evolved for truth… or for survival?As a CEO, you need truth.You need to know what’s really going on so you can make the right call.But most people? They’re wired for survival.That means:Saying what they think you want to hearAvoiding conflict or responsibilityPlaying safe, not honestEspecially in tough environments or dysfunctional teams.Once you see it, you can’t unsee it and you’ll lead very differently.If you’ve ever walked out of a conversation thinking, “I’m not getting the full picture,” this is for you. ___Videos for all these episodes are on my YouTube channel.If you enjoy my content and you want to get in touch to find out how I could work with you, or someone you know, you can reach me at:My LinkedIn PageOr you can drop me an email.
