Keep up with Chief Psycho

Blaming them for failures? Cute. You hired them. You trained them. You set the tone.

Signs you’re the problem:
🔸 Excuses over solutions
🔸 Shaming instead of coaching
🔸 Ego over growth

Fix yourself first. They’ll follow.

#LeadershipVoid #FixTheRootYour feedback isn’t working. Here’s why:

❌Problem 1: You only give it when you’re angry
❌Problem 2: You’re vague (“Do better”)
❌Problem 3: You never follow up

Prescription:
🔸 Be specific
🔸 Be consistent
🔸 Be human

Feedback isn’t a weapon. Stop treating it like one.

#FeedbackFail #PsychoAnalyzedDemanding they “tough it out” when systems are broken isn’t leadership—it’s exploitation.

🫵 Your job: Remove barriers, not humanity
🤝 Their job: Trust you’ll protect them

Stop glorifying suffering. Start fixing the cause.

#ToxicResilience #ChiefPsychoLabYou ask “How are you?” but don’t care about the answer. You nod while planning your next monologue.

Why it fails: Teams smell insincerity. Always.

Fix it:
🔸 Shut up. Listen. Mean it.
🔸 Trade performative concern for real connection

Your mask is slipping. Time to choose: Leader or liar?

#FakeEmpathyKills #ChiefPsychoLabIf your team won’t speak up, you’ve taught them silence is safer than honesty.

Your crimes:
🔸 Punishing dissent
🔸 Rewarding fake smiles
🔸 Confusing respect with fear

Prescription:
🔸 Apologize for shutting them down
🔸 Beg for brutal honesty

What you ignore today will explode tomorrow.

#SilenceIsPoison #PsychoAnalyzedPerfectionism isn’t excellence. It’s ego.

Demanding flawlessness? You’re not chasing greatness—you’re masking insecurity.

Symptoms: Micromanaging, burnout, resentment.

Cure:
🔸 Embrace “good enough”
🔸 Let mistakes be lessons, not failures

Your legacy won’t be your wins. It’ll be the trauma you caused.
