Warts and All


In efforts to save face, many organizational leaders downplay (or may honestly not know) some of the negative aspects of their business which are detrimental to success. Without properly addressing the issues, productivity and morale are sure to suffer.

Did you know?
The #1 complaint among U.S. employees is the failure of management (or HR) to appropriately address poor behavior in the workplace?

One of the most successful techniques in my tool bag? The ask. When we ask employees for input, we open ourselves up for anything...which can be a very scary (and potentially destructive) experience. To make the experience positive, meaningful and productive, it's often times a good idea to incorporate a third, neutral party, skilled in conflict resolution.
