People are drawn to truth and people run from truth. When you are truer, leader, you will polarize teammates. Fact.
When you demand excellence, you polarize. When you hold standards, you polarize. When you fire high performers for moral violations, you polarize. When you fire “good dudes” who don’t perform, you polarize. When you take on bullies, you polarize. Lead anything well and you will polarize. You will experience resistance, oftentimes from the very people you are trying to help. Friedman was right, all systems sabotage from within. Truth.
Be truer. Polarize. If everyone loves you, you’re not a leader, you’re a cheerleader. Model the way. Embrace pain and suffering. Embody truth in Love. Be truer. Polarize.
Live hard. Love harder…
