Fear doesn’t build teams. It breaks them. And when executives start managing optics instead of outcomes, everything that matters begins to rot.
Top talent walks because no one’s brave enough to back them. Innovation stalls because approval matters more than execution. Culture? It dies quietly while everyone pretends it’s fine on Zoom.
Leadership isn’t about being liked. It’s about being clear, decisive, and anchored in values — even when it’s uncomfortable. The minute fear takes the wheel, the whole company goes off course.
