It’s Hump Day on Greatest Hits Week! Today, we’re throwing it back to an important reminder: being liked is overrated! Check out Joe’s interview with Rachel Robertson. This show originally aired on August 5, 2020, so please disregard any mention of current events.
Are we focused too much on being liked? From the workplace to our personal lives, most of us don’t want to be the person who rocks the boat. Go with the flow, right? Leadership expert (and Antarctic research station leader) Rachael Robertson says that the approach to leadership (or even following) couldn’t be more wrong. An honest – yes, that means having tough conversations! – the workplace is more constructive than an office focused on making sure everyone is getting along every day.
Plus, remember the 401k article going around suggesting a 401k plan doesn’t make much sense anymore for savers? Yeah… hope you didn’t immediately pull out your entire retirement fund after reading that because we’re covering that topic today and may have a different opinion.
