This topic has a lot of nuance and it’s important to understand as a leader. You can’t be a good leader and constantly or regularly be worried about getting fired. It’s impossible to live in that state and be effective at, taking appropriate risks, pushing for more accountability or taking blame and giving credit. There are countless things that you won’t do as effectively in leadership (and life, really) if you are living in a mindset of fear.
You have to know what is best for your team and what isn’t. Then go out and fight for those things. Sometimes that means going toe to toe with an executive to get your team what it needs. You won’t win all those battle, but that isn’t the goal. The goal is to fight, as eloquently and with as much data to set context as possible and then let the chips fall where they lay.
