To be or not to be

a bitch.


Yes my dear colleague, this is all for you and about what you told me the other day. I didn't have the chance to tell you how much I recognised myself in what you said. This about being a bitch.

I think one of the hardest part of all this, for me at least, is going to be about daring to make people dislike you a bit, at least for the moment. I always want all people to like me. Who doesn't want that? But as a leader, you sometimes have to be that bitch beacuse there will be moments when there is no way out. When you have to be clear with disappointments and unapprovals. When you have to communicate bad stuff. I know times like that will come, and I've been warned: It will be hard. People will hate you. For a bit. Til they understand your reasons for acting a certain way.

An incident in my leadership team recently gave me a bit of a taste of how it is going to be later. Just a little bit, just a smaller incident. But that was enough to feel it is going to be hard to hard.

Really hard. But I'll learn. That's what they say. I will have to act as a bitch some days. But people might not stop liking me because of that!

But I'll learn...

I'll learn so many things this year, can hardly wait.
