A child psychologist’s guide to working with difficult adults | Dr. Becky Kennedy

Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist and CEO of Good Inside, argues that leadership principles from parenting apply directly to managing adults at work, since all humans share the same underlying needs regardless of age. She explains repair, connecting before correcting, separating behavior from identity, the 'most generous interpretation' framework, sturdy leadership, and true boundaries versus requests, all in service of building resilience over short-term happiness in both children and colleagues.
