TommyLog – Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe

A good friend sent me a short article about a life lesson one CEO taught him. One of the points of the article is that a good CEO at work , like the father of a household, needs to make their employees (kids) feel safe.

The money quote from the article…

“What I loved most about working for your dad for all those years was how safe he made us feel. Even when times were tough, you trusted he would see things through. You knew he would do whatever he needed to – and you knew it would work out because he was in charge. It was a good feeling”.

At work, do you make your employees feel safe? At home, do you make your family feel safe? What’s the difference?

The Value of I’m Sorry

Tommy talks about leadership training and the value of saying I’m Sorry. How different would this word be is leaders just admitted their mistakes and said I’m sorry. I used the example of the umpire Jim Joyce‘s error robbed Armando Galarraga of his perfect game and how there are no hard feelings. What an amazing story. A great lesson to be learned here.
