Every day, unrecognized assumptions are sabotaging your leadership and preventing your team from making meaningful progress. Change is relational, not technical, and most leaders get it wrong. I sat down with Jeff Wetherhold, a master of Motivational Interviewing, to unpack this. He explains how to uncover The Hidden Assumptions That Are Sabotaging Your Leadership by using a simple technique: asking fewer questions and offering more reflections. We dive into why people are ambivalent about change , the psychological "binary bias" that traps us , and how embracing short-term discomfort leads to long-term growth. This is an essential conversation for any leader who wants to stop fighting resistance and start facilitating real change. Check out the company: https://www.miforhealth.com
