Two highly driven surgeons I know, both on their second marriage, made a simple agreement before difficult conversations:
They ask each other one question first: “Do you want support, or do you want solutions?”
In this short video, I connect this idea to leadership: When we’re intentional about our approach, in conversations or meetings, we create space for both support and problem-solving. It’s how teams become a community working together.
Take a minute to watch and reflect: What’s your intention when you walk into your next meeting?
