You’re trying to be a great boss.
But your team thinks you’re weak.
Dr. Dave knows this from experience. He learned the hard way that being nice doesn’t build trust—it builds resentment.
While you're softening the truth, your A-players are getting frustrated.
Your culture’s going mushy.
And profits? They’re quietly bleeding out through “nice” decisions no one respects.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- When Kindness Kills Performance: How good intentions can quietly weaken your team and drive away top talent
- The 53% Efficiency Loss: Why unclear communication drains cash—and the 3-step fix to stop the bleeding
- From Nice to Profitable: The leadership shift that builds respect, trust, and momentum
Your best people are watching.
Don’t let “nice” be the reason they leave.
