The small moments are the leadership.

LET’S BE HONEST: You lose most of your credibility the moment you raise your voice.

Made a coffee. Reheated it twice. Drank it cold anyway.

There's always one person first in and last to leave.
Everyone calls them a hard worker.
Does anyone actually ask if they're okay?

Consistency > Intensity.

If you're in the middle right now, what's the hardest part for you? 👇

[Daniel James Halls @DanielHallsCo]

You weren't warned about the middle.
You get promoted. Now you've got senior leaders pushing targets down. And a team pushing stress up.
You're standing in the gap. Absorbing both. All day.

[Daniel James Halls @DanielHallsCo]

Middle managers report more burnout than any other group at work.
This is why.
The fix isn't pushing harder. It's the human skills that make the pressure manageable. Boundaries. Clear conversations. Knowing what to carry and what to hand back.

[Daniel James Halls @DanielHallsCo]

Your culture is what you let slide. Not your values poster.

A clear no is kindness.

[Daniel James Halls @DanielHallsCo]

Discipline is just self-respect on a hard day.

Feedback isn't an attack. It's a gift wrapped badly.

[Daniel James Halls @DanielHallsCo]

"Sorry if you were offended."
That's not an apology.
That's blaming them for having feelings.
The "if" undoes the whole thing.
Try: "Sorry. I got that wrong."
No if. No but. You just own it.
Could you say sorry without the "if"?
