Order my new book Habits of High Performers here - www.thehabitbook.com  What if your team’s biggest problem isn’t what’s said — it’s what’s left unsaid? In this episode of Lead on Purpose, I sit down with Steven Gaffney, author of Unconditional Power and creator of the CHAT framework for consistently high achieving teams. We unpack why honesty, emotional safety, and proactive communication are the foundations of real performance — not just effort. We cover: The hidden cost of withholding and how to get “the unsaid said.”Why emotional safety beats psychological safety every time.The five traits of high achieving teams — starting with “team first, position second.”How to separate facts from stories using the “Notice vs Imagine” tool.The power of reframing problems into opportunities.What unconditional power means and how to focus only on what you can control. You’ll walk away with clear, actionable tools to help your team communicate honestly, perform consistently, and lead with courage and empathy.
