Yeah.
I genuinely think most people think I'm either good or bad at this and that's like a fixed thing inside of me and my life and my personality.
I'm either a risk taker or I'm not.
And you've made it a practice of something that you are trying to get better at.
And I think you can like unlock that for people, which is that this isn't a fixed thing.
This is something that you can practice daily, you know, or weekly.
One of the things I really wanted to talk to you about, because you wrote a book on management, it makes you realize that those risks can feel really different depending on how much power someone has, particularly at work, but probably true in life as well.
I'm curious how you think about the role of management and risk.
Yeah.
I'm curious what you think about the phrase safe space or something like that.
Because I do think one definition of a great manager is someone who makes it safe
for a team to take risks or an individual to like put themselves out there and try things that are scary or they might not be good at or to advocate for something.
And a bad manager is someone that like can make everything inside of that feel risky or like your whole reputation is on the line.
Do you think safety is sort of like a part of what great managers create?
Yeah.
But I am curious because not everyone in the world has done the work to think through what does it mean to be a manager?
What does it mean to get the most out of the team?
And I think a lot of people are trapped in work situations where a manager makes things feel unsafe or makes things –
a lot of those day-to-day risks that you talk about feel scary, including giving feedback or setting a boundary or saying, I'm not going to work at night.
Some of that can feel like your job or your reputation or to your point about performance reviews, that's on the line.
