Being liked
Welcome back to Safer VRS Podcast! I'm Eric Thibodeaux, thrilled to have you join me this week. While I couldn't make it to the Women's Conference due to some exciting developments in our property management business, I'm eager to delve into today's topic: the delicate balance between being liked and professional responsibility.
Key Takeaways:
- The Pitfalls of Seeking Approval: Reflecting on a past experience in a chemical plant, I learned the hard way about prioritizing being liked over adhering strictly to company policies. Seeking approval led me astray from protocol, highlighting the risks of placing popularity over professional standards.
- Professional Integrity Over Popularity: As a safety professional, I aim to provide accurate, sometimes unpopular advice. While I value being liked, my primary goal is ensuring your safety and business success. I've learned to prioritize professional integrity over universal approval.
- Unpopular Yet Necessary Advice: My commitment is to deliver the guidance and information crucial for your business, even if it's not what you want to hear. My role mandates tough conversations sometimes, and I've grown comfortable with that discomfort for the sake of your safety and success.
Exciting news! I've developed a comprehensive industry standard for vacation rental safety, a resource years in the making. Stay tuned for the big reveal next week, shaping the landscape of safety and loss prevention in the industry.
