I’ve always wondered where business owners got their thick skin. How CEOs walk into a room ready to upgrade or destroy lives. How managers can just come into the room and say whatever is on their minds.
Until I thought about a decision that would help grow my small business. My thoughts were scary and uncut. I justified it by saying it was what was best for the business. No matter how many people were going to get hurt along the way.
Then I knew. We all harbour that trait, it is just dormant. All it takes is the right fight or flight moment to awaken it.
