 How To Have Difficult ConversationsI was delighted when Kim Scott's book Radical Candor came out as I heartily share her views on candid conversations. To me it really is an art, not a science! Just like art, you improved the more often you do it. While there may be steps to take, you only develop comfort for 'uncomfortable discourse' as you practice doing it. I'm not telling you it will be easy. After all, it does go against with what your Momma taught you - 'if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all'. But when you become a leader (just as Kim says) ' it’s your job to speak up--so it's your obligation to be candid'.

 Do Your Employees Hate Work?When great employees don’t get what they need to thrive, they wither and become a zombie before your eyes.
Has your previously amazing rock star employee turned into one of the ‘working dead’..... that quit, but stayed? How would you know if you have disengaged employees? Sometimes, it is not very obvious. Zombie employees may get sick frequently; they may complain or stew about issues more; they are more detached; they increase the number of breaks or take a long time to accomplish work; or, they seem more frustrated or annoyed. When team members, who were previously quite involved and full of life, become quiet or just don't bother trying anymore - there is a good chance they're checking out. It is becoming quite an epidemic. According to Gallup less than 13% of employees are an engaged worldwide – that means many people hate their jobs. With a concerted effort you can bring them back from the brink while preventing the further demise of your very best people. |
