Caring for your team means pushing them, not pampering them. In this episode of Veteran Led, John Berry explains how to find the perfect balance between support and accountability. John draws from his time as a young officer to illustrate how leaders that provide excessive amenities can actually undermine motivation and engagement if it replaces real challenges. He’ll teach leaders how to avoid an overemphasis on amenities, strike the right balance between necessities and challenges, and keep teams laser-focused on the mission at hand.
