Great post, Paulo. I personally benefited from coaching from some of greatest and the value they created in my career is unmatched.

I liked the practical tips you shared on this post, it's very common for "leaders" to jump on to provide solutions, I used to make the same mistake. But it doesn't foster growth and inspiration.

Thank you for sharing your experience and glad to hear the post resonated with you, Akash. Couldn't agree more on the advice trap not leading to much growth and inspiration. :)

I didn't know about your newsletter yet, looks great. Subscribed!

Loved this one Paulo. I’m definitely falling into the advice trap way too often.

"The idea that there should be a certain distance to “maintain respect”, for example, runs completely counter to all the relevant neuroscience research of the last few decades."

Could you please elaborate what you mean by keeping distance to maintain respect?

I meant that many leaders and managers feel that if they get too close to their reports they won't be respected, and will be difficult to hold them accountable.

As you can imagine by reading this newsletter, I personally think that's nonsense. :)
