Low standards: manifested as “good enough”
One of my biggest issues. And it’s not directed at me. It’s at my people. I hold myself to impeccable standards. But let my people off the hook.
Two issues I see.
First I let them stumble because I downgrade their capabilities until proven wrong.
Second it’s my tendency to help. Both stem from the same place.
And it all leads to a lower functioning team.
The fix: empowerment and failure.
Give them room to grow or fail. All I can do is coach, not do.
