In any leadership role, understanding the difference between what you need to hear and what people think you want to hear is pivotal. Leaders often focus on their end goals, sometimes at the expense of understanding the reality of their situation. This episode sheds light on the crucial practice of obtaining the "ground truth" from your team. Ignoring the ground truth can cripple organizational performance as it is foundational to leadership success. Leaders need to foster an environment where team members feel psychologically safe to share honest feedback, improving decision-making and goal achievement.
