Encouraging “mutual courage” with clients.
Advice for overcoming this?
Set proper rules of the road for the brand and then constantly tell people that it is OK to veer off a bit, as long as it is on brand. Provide “Get out of Jail” cards for taking a risk that didn’t pan out. When they hand it in, say thank you and don’t offer advice or scoldings. Just say “thank you for taking a bold risk.”
