I thought I was being supportive when I asked a quieter-than-usual coworker, “Are you quitting?” Instead, my attempt at empathy landed as suspicion, and it changed our relationship overnight.
In this first episode of Off My Chest, I share how one well-intentioned question went terribly wrong, what it taught me about leadership and assumptions, and why conversations we misread can linger long after they’re over.
If you’ve ever replayed a moment you wish you could take back, this one might feel familiar.
