🚫 The Unseen Cost of Being ‘Low Maintenance’ | Episode 934 🎙️

What’s happening, what’s happening?! Welcome back to The Brian Hess Show!

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jim Williams, and we’re diving into a leadership myth that’s holding people back: the idea that being “low maintenance” is always a good thing. While staying quiet and avoiding conflict may feel polite or humble, the truth is—it can cost you everything from growth to clarity to real results.

This episode is a call to speak up, communicate clearly, and stop letting silence sabotage your success.

✅ Why low maintenance often leads to unmet needs and missed opportunities

✅ How silence gets misread as satisfaction—and limits your growth

✅ Why clear, honest communication is not being “high maintenance”

✅ The difference between humility and avoidance

✅ How lack of feedback creates leadership blind spots

✅ Why follow-up is the key to moving anything forward in life and business

🎯 Take Action Today! You’re not being difficult—you’re being clear. If you’ve been taught to stay quiet, play small, or avoid asking for what you need, this episode is your permission to flip the script. Clear communication builds trust, results, and impact.

🎧 Tune in now and start showing up like the leader you actually are.
