Ep #176: Niceness protects comfort but kindness protects growth

About this episode

Julie shares a story from her early days as a practice owner, a performance conversation she was so worried about getting wrong that she completely softened the message and the team member walked away thinking she'd just been praised, and uses it to explore the difference between being nice and being kind, drawing on Kim Scott's Radical Candor to explain why niceness prioritises comfort while kindness prioritises growth, and why avoiding hard conversations doesn't protect anyone, it just delays the cost. 

If you've been putting off a conversation with someone on your team, this one's worth a listen.
