question frog men do you think it’s always a bad thing to be thought of as slightly unapproachable as the leader yeah so this is another question about the dichotomy of leadership is another question about balance and it’s strangely worded question by the way from this this Scotsman who I know it’s because he uses the question all uses the word always and usually always is always a never right when you use those they usually don’t hold up isn’t always a bad thing yeah but then he kind of he kind of softens the always by saying slightly on a parcel so so we give him a fairly low grade on this question but luckily the the concept of the question would give him high grade which is is it is it is it should you be unapproachable slightly unapproachable should you be that’s the real question should you be slightly unapproachable as a leader well there’s this is this is a question about dichotomy the question is about balance do you want to have people approach you about every little problem ratio as a boss do you want to have that happen know you don’t know right do you want to be the easy button where you have to answer every single question and make every decision if you’re too approachable that’s where you’re gonna find yourself now at the same time at the other end of the spectrum do you want your team to never approach you ever because you’re unapproachable yeah no you don’t want that do you want them to to be scared or intimidated from giving you good honest feedback or good suggestions about the way you’re doing things do you not want that to happen because you’re too unapproachable of course not so those are the dichotomies you can be too too approachable and be the easy button or you can be too aloof and too distant and too unapproachable that you don’t even know what’s happening on the front lines and you don’t get any input from them the extremes are bad so what you want to do is you want to balance those two dichotomies be in the middle be approachable but not overly approachable mm-hmm and you’ll be good
