You cannot challenge the teammate who is broken. For someone to go from broken to better, someone’s gotta give them hope. So, leader, give your hurting teammate hope. Care for them. Make them feel your compassion.
And, once you’ve done your job and got them back on their feet, feel free to challenge ’em out of belief. Don’t reverse the order, however. The broken bone, remember, has to be placed in the cushion of a protective cast for six weeks before it’s ready to carry weight again. Compassion then challenge. Good.
We could use a few more leaders tuned in to their team, friend. Be ONE…
