But in the end, your character will win out.
Usually, if the change is a good one and you have led well, people will ultimately see it was a good move. And they will eventually be thankful for it and often for you.
Sometimes—even if the change is good—there will be a few who never thank you and still don’t like you. That’s OK, because you took the high road. You can look in the mirror with some satisfaction knowing you did all that you could and did it with all integrity. You fought the good fight.
And sometimes, that’s enough.
So do the things that make someone likeable without worrying whether people will like you.
You will lead better.
And people will be well-led.
What are you learning about leadership and likeability? Anything you’d add to this list?
