We all deceive ourselves about something. And mostly it’s harmless. You know how it goes. My rear doesn’t look big in this. I don’t drink too much. I’m pretty fit. But sometimes it’s harmful. I see this from time to time with frontline managers.

Frontline leaders commonly have similiar issues and continuously make the same mistakes day in, day out which compromise their performance. Two of the main issues are around giving too much negative feedback and failing to give appropriate direction.
