I Was MAD at My Boss…

My boss made me angry, and when I confronted him, he changed my entire attitude with one, simple phrase...

25 years ago, I worked as a software developer and project manager in a large school district. My boss, a director I greatly admired, suddenly vanished during a critical project.

He was absent for a month without explanation. Confused and concerned, I decided to confront him. When he showed up, I entered his office, closed the door, and unleashed my frustrations.

But what happened next floored me.

He calmly revealed that he had been battling a brain tumor. 🤯

In that moment, my entire perception shifted. I stopped blaming him and asked, "How can I help?"

It was a profound shift in attitude, and it taught me a vital lesson: to lead with empathy, we must provide our team with the big picture. We must help them understand the context behind our decisions.
