Tweetable Comments "People get stuck thinking being relatable means being nice or being friends. It doesn't. You can still be a leader and maintain boundaries while showing up as a human being." "If you're not sure your team feels respected by you-ask them. And if you don't have the relationship to ask, they probably don't feel respected." "It takes seconds to show that you're a human being." "Teams are looking for respect from their leader. That's how they feel connected when they feel respected."
