The Leadership Trade-Offs That Make or Break Teams

The Leadership Trade-Offs That Make or Break Teams

Most decisions you make as a leader look reasonable on the whiteboard.


But in the real world, you're rarely deciding between black and white options. You're choosing between two things that both matter: and something has to give. That's the dilemma. And how you handle it speaks volumes about the kind of leader you really are.


The ability to make trade-offs confidently, separates average leaders from truly great ones, and there are no hard and fast rules.


In this episode, Em and I break down six of the most common — and most consequential — trade-offs leaders face.
