When people stop questioning you because it costs them

When someone on my team questions a call I've made, I feel my face harden and I hear the edge come into my voice. I don't yell, but they can tell it cost them to ask. Over time they've stopped asking, and I've realized my authority holds because challenging it is unpleasant.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

When people question your decisions you get defensive, so they've learned to stop.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
