Importance of the balance between challenge and support. People (often coaches) say to me that "if I'm challenging, I can't be supportive" and "if I'm supportive, I can't be challenging". But you can be challenging AND supportive at the same time (for performance AND well-being).

I am empathetic with my team. But I am simultaneously unequivocal about the quality I require.  There is a way to be both.
