Perhaps you worry that you aren’t adding enough value, or maybe you’re battling with imposter syndrome, but your monologue does not support your team’s performance. Sometimes keeping your mouth shut is the best move.

If you want to uplevel your leadership skills, then try asking more questions in meetings. Insightful questions promote valuable conversation - and make you look thoughtful, strategic, and intelligent all at once!

Being authentic and truthful is not an excuse to be an asshole.

You may have a colleague who brushes off their controversial behavior with a shrug saying, “That’s just who I am!” Personally, I’m tired of people hiding behind their self-assigned labels to justify not acting like a team player.
