About this listen

They meant it. Every time.

I coached someone who sincerely made every commitment with intention, insight, and urgency. They cared and wanted change. Yet, week after week, the promises quietly slid.

Not because they were lazy—but because they were afraid: afraid to disappoint upward, afraid to push back, afraid to admit they were over capacity.

The real cost wasn’t performance, it was trust. Teams started hedging and believing the words less.

The turning point wasn’t more motivation—it was structure: one decision that mattered, one visible commitment, and one consequence if it slipped. That’s when authority returned.

Good intention is reassuring. Follow-through changes what people believe about you.
