I also respect people who feel confident or principled enough to say no to things they aren’t comfortable with. But you don’t get people who struggle with that to start doing the same by just telling them they need to grow a backbone. It takes a lot of work to build up that self esteem and support to feel okay with any possible negative consequences or get out of your head. Building people up so they get to that point is just as important as shouting out the ones who are there.
