He argues that to grow, you need to ditch those pesky bad habits that are holding you back. These are some common ones that I know we all face:

🛑 Adding Too Much Value: Ever feel like you have to chime in on everything? This can actually stifle your team’s creativity and input.
🛑 Passing Judgment: Constantly rating others and imposing your standards can block the development of positive, constructive relationships.
🛑 Making Destructive Comments: Those sharp, witty remarks might feel clever, but they can often hurt others and create a negative atmosphere.
