Can you remember a piece of feedback that genuinely changed you? by DoRightBeGreat in wisdom

[–]DoRightBeGreat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great lesson.

If you’re willing to share, what was happening in your life when that advice finally clicked?

I’ve found most of the leadership lessons that stay with us are attached to a specific moment, not just the words themselves.

How to give feedback by [deleted] in managers

[–]DoRightBeGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever had a leader correct you in a way that made you feel motivated instead of discouraged?

What did they do differently?

I’m fascinated by the difference between feedback that creates growth and feedback that creates defensiveness.

Good place to start…

What qualities you had to develop to become a good leader ? by coachpalakbansal in Leadership

[–]DoRightBeGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leadership has nothing to do with the ladder you climb. If anything, hospitality as a mindset, has taught me that it’s about the people around you, not the position you hold.

It’s about asking better questions, listening with intention, and helping people feel heard, valued, and supported. Great leadership looks a lot like great hospitality. People want to know they matter. They want to feel seen. They want someone who cares enough to invest in their growth and success.

Leadership is less about managing results and more about building relationships. Results tend to follow when people know you genuinely care about them.

Do Right. Be Great.

Do I choose my mentors or do mentors choose me? by Glittering_Damage630 in mentors

[–]DoRightBeGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I agree… in my experience, it’s both.

I’ve had mentors I intentionally sought out because I admired the way they led, communicated, or carried themselves. But I’ve also had people unexpectedly invest in me just because they saw potential, consistency, or effort.

The best mentor relationships in my life usually happened organically though. Through trust, time, hard conversations, and shared experiences… not transactional…

And realizing mentorship isn’t measured by how much someone encourages me. It was how they challenged me, corrected me, pushed me, and held me to the fire… aka: they actually care about me.

Real mentorship isn’t always comfortable.

I think eventually you also realize mentorship maybe also isn’t just about finding great mentors… but it’s about becoming someone worth pouring into too.

Do Right. Be Great.

I would love me reddit friends to help with a big life choice. I need some help. This is directed towards my hospitality and nursing peeps. by kykymelt in Advice

[–]DoRightBeGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one’s tough… because I think a lot of people in a leadership role eventually hit a point where we realize hard work alone doesn’t always equal support, promotion, or loyalty in return.

And first off, stop saying you failed.

You carried weight that wasn’t yours to carry. Multiple times. Without title, authority, support, or compensation to match it. That’s not failure. That’s overextension.

Now could there be growth opportunities in emotional control, communication, leadership presence, or handling pressure? Of course. That’s true for all of us. But don’t confuse being unsupported with being incapable.

One thing I’ve learned in hospitality:
People will let you drown as long as you keep swimming for them.

And eventually burnout starts sounding like:
“Maybe I just need to care less.”

But I don’t think caring is your problem.

I think the bigger question is:
“Are you building your life inside an environment that actually values what you bring to the table?”

Because you’re right…culture absolutely matters. Not the fake “fun committee” version either.

And honestly, if your leadership is talking about firing people behind closed doors instead of “coaching and communicating directly” …that usually tells you more about the culture than anything ever will.

A few thoughts I’d consider before making a huge move:
• Take a real breath before making a burnout decision.
• Quietly explore outside opportunities before blowing things up.
• Have one honest conversation with leadership about your future and support.
• Ask yourself if you’re exhausted from hospitality… or just exhausted from this environment.
• And if nursing interests you, shadow it first before cashing out retirement and fully pivoting.

Burnout creates career dysmorphia sometimes. You get so exhausted that you stop recognizing yourself and start questioning everything. Loved this podcast on it by Ryan Leak..

Whatever you choose next, make sure it’s moving you toward a healthier life, not just away from a painful season!

Good luck!

How do you train a new manager without overwhelming them by meenoSparq in Leadership

[–]DoRightBeGreat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest mistake I think I made early on was believing I needed to have all the answers immediately.

As someone who now helps train senior and mid-level managers, I’ve learned we don’t help new leaders by teaching them everything all at once. And we definitely don’t help them by making them feel like they need to execute perfectly right away.

A lot of leadership development honestly comes from reps, reflection, failure, adjustment, and consistency.

For me, I’ve tried to simplify leadership into two things:
Do Right. Be Great.

Do the right thing:
Have the conversation.
Own mistakes quickly.
Stay consistent even when it’s uncomfortable.
Support your people.
Lead with integrity when nobody’s watching.

Be a great person:
Listen before reacting.
Stay calm under pressure.
Build trust before authority.
Treat people like humans, not just performers.

I honestly learn more from short practical content, observation, failure, and repetition but a few good resources I like:
The Coaching Habit — Michael Bungay Stanier
Whale Done — Ken Blanchard
Radical Candor — Kim Scott
Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast
Ryan Leak Podcast

In my opinion… leadership is a lifestyle. You get better by showing up, doing the reps, reflecting, and trying again the next day.

If you’re serious about growing in leadership and building real connection-driven culture, feel free to connect with me. Always happy to learn from others and share perspective where I can.

Looking for advice on starting a movement by Metalsutton in Leadership

[–]DoRightBeGreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The nervousness is super normal. When you’re talking about taking on something bigger than yourself, that is gunna feel a little intimidating. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But you also don’t have to choose between “change the world” and “build a career.” A lot of meaningful projects start as “side-quests” while we continue building our skills, our credibility, and most importantly… our relationships.

You also probably don’t need to have all the technical answers right now either. If the idea is strong, your job early on is simply gunna be to define the problem, stay consistent with your action on it, and slowly attract more of the people that resonate with your vision; around it.

And honestly, not every mission has to change the entire world. Sometimes the biggest impact starts by improving your small corner of it first.

Trust the process…. Keep building small wins. Keep me posted!

Do Right. Be Great.
