I once had a boss who hyper-focused on one person until firing them, then another, then another.
Someone would land on her “bad” side for one reason or another, and then her brain observed what the team member did and said, creating further evidence to prove the initial thoughts.
All of our brains do this - think a thought and then create evidence to back it up through our feelings, actions, and results.
The problem is, we don’t stop and question our brains on whether it was a thought or FACT, before taking action. How unfortunate for the team member on the receiving end of the criticism and firing. And also for the leader who causes themselves so much pain and suffering.
This is why leaders need what I call “Clean Leading”.
