First, From the Heart

Let’s face it. We often think that shaming people will motivate them to do better. Perhaps that was how we were conditioned as children by our families or at school. There is no shortage of leaders who believe in this familiar approach to getting what they want out of their teams.
 
However, teams are comprised of human beings. As humans, we all have weaknesses. We all make mistakes even when we try our best. Not one of us is perfect, even if it looks like we are from the outside. On the inside, we are likely our own harshest critic. So as humans and as leaders, let’s grow through the practice of compassion. It is the superpower to put both our inner and outer shaming to rest.
