Moment 144. The Real Cost of Overprotecting Your People

Protecting your people feels kind…until it destroys their resilience and results.

As the older generation vacates the workforce, companies are making way for fresh talent, new ideas, and different ways of working.

This brings with it a number of challenges, as we transition from a workforce that has historically been compliant and robust, to one that has an elevated sense of entitlement, and a worrying lack of resilience.

How do you balance your duty of care for your people, with the obligation you have as a leader to optimise team performance?

If you want to go deeper on how to take people where they don’t necessarily want to go, have a listen to Ep.328: Building Resilience Into the Fragile.
