Mainline Executive Coaching ACT

How Close is Too Close?

Rich Baron and Maikel Bailey Episode 174

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!

So here is the big question… can leaders and their subordinates be close friends? I think we need to decide how we define being “friends”. It is nice to be friendly with your team members. Having an easy, open, and warm relationship based on mutual professional respect, rapport, and care. However, the difference between great workplace relationships and over-familiarity is a very thin line guided by discipline and controlled by respect. No matter what, do not neglect rules, deliver haphazard/incomplete jobs, or get over-familiar with your authorities, the benefits might be great but the consequences far outweigh it.


Leaders, Lead Well!

Thank you to all of our listeners in over 85 countries and 900 cities worldwide, we greatly appreciate your support! We truly hope that what we bring to our listeners will improve your ability as leaders.
