All right, we're going to talk about 10 different signs that you're afraid to lead.

Not whether you're ready to lead or not, because you're never fully going to be ready,

but 10 signs that you're actually afraid of leads.

Okay, so fear number one, you are afraid of making a decision that the sole responsibility

could end up being on you, so you always wish you wash it with a decision.

God forbid, if it's your decision, that possibly goes wrong.

Here's a reality of it. As a leader, the shot caller, you have to call shots.

It doesn't mean all your shots are going to be good or bad,

but your team's going to respect the fact that you called the shot, you executed,

and you took the responsibility, and you're okay with that.

Eventually, your percentage of making better decisions will go higher,

but if you're afraid of actually calling the shot and your decisions could be a bad decision,

you're always afraid of that, you're never going to be leading a big crowd.

Sign number two, you tell a different story, meaning you spin the story a little bit of what

actually happened. So, for example, your boss is going to ask you, your CEO is going to ask you,

yeah, we need you to go do xyz, you're going to have this conversation with the client,

or this employee that's reporting to you, or this vendor, or this partner, and you go in,

and you don't say anything that you were supposed to do, and you actually took the side of the vendor,

or the customer, you're like, yeah, I agree with, well, you know how it is sometimes,

when you're dealing with them, they're kind of tough to work with, trust me.

I see this well myself, and you know, so I understand why you guys are so upset,

I'm also upset sometimes when I deal with them, and you're not the only person other people
