And the mental space that should be used for creativity and problem-solving gets consumed by doubt.Sometimes leadership isn't about what you say to someone.It's about what your behavior tells them you believe they are capable of.#leadership #leadershipdevelopment #leadershippsychology #teamculture #employeeengagement #selfefficacy #davidrobson #leadershippodcast
