The Manager Track Ramona Shaw

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona sits down with Rusty Komori, an Executive Coach and former head tennis coach who has redefined what it means to excel. Rusty isn't just talking about being good, or even great—he's talking about becoming superior.

Listen in on their conversation to discover why welcoming adversity could be your secret weapon, how to spot the hidden communication traps that are derailing your team's success, and why the trophies you're handing out might be doing more harm than good. Rusty challenges us to rethink everything from how we view our strengths to how we handle setbacks.

Rusty's insights will have you questioning your limits and redefining what's possible for you and your team.

Feedback is a cornerstone of effective leadership.

Your ability to provide constructive criticism and recognition is crucial for team improvement, engagement, and achieving organizational goals. New leaders, in particular, often face the challenge of giving employees direct and candid feedback when they're still trying to establish trust and respect from the team. And this comes at a cost to both the leader and the team.

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona explores the importance of feedback and recognition in leadership. She details three different models of giving feedback: curiosity-based conversations, the gap model, and the ISID feedback model to help leaders improve performance and engagement within their teams.

If you're looking to enhance your feedback skills or aiming to refine your approach, this episode is packed with insights and tools to help you succeed.

Workplace relationships can be challenging.

It takes time to get to know people at work, understand their often differing styles, and to develop trust. And chances are high that there is at least one in the group that we find 'difficult' to work with.

She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and analyzing the narratives we entertain in our minds, particularly any preconceived notions and interpretations that can exacerbate potential relationship issues.

Ramona also shares practical tips for navigating difficult dynamics so you know how to set boundaries, maintain professionalism, and foster healthy work relationships.
If you've been dealing with a tricky relationship at work or want to prepare for such inevitable challenges, this episode is a must-listen.
