    When Difficult Conversations Go Bad | Lead From Here #118

    Difficult conversations are the worst part of leadership, but they are also the most important conversations you will have in your career. It's imperative that you do your best to make the conversation as effective and helpful as possible to the person on the receiving end. That sounds pretty straightforward, but what about when things go wrong? Whether it's the persons final conversation before being walked out or it's someone you are trying to coach back into solid standing, there will be times where the conversation goes off the rails. When that happens it's up to you as the leader to keep it moving forward in a positive and effective directions. Don't get caught up in the moment, regardless of what they say. You are the person giving them this difficult information, it's natural for them to respond negatively. The key is to stick to the plan, keep your emotions in check and finally remember that you are there to help. Do that and even when things go sideways, you will be able to keep it professional and effective, while also being human. I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here!

    Be Vulnerable with Your People | Lead From Here #117

    I received an email from a leader that was asking how he could "fix his team". They are struggling with missing deadlines, complaining/fighting, poor quality and just generally not running as efficiently as he would like. In that email he also let me know how he approaches the team and it involves, "not showing any weaknesses" and "putting up a strong front at all time". From the information I have received, I can deduce that the team doesn't have a quality problem, a deadline problem, they have a leadership problem. That may sound harsh, but all the problems this leader shared were just symptoms of a deeper issue. Your people can see right through your front, your shortcomings and weaknesses are apparent to everyone around you...trying to hide it just breaks trust and makes you look bad. The worst part is it also creates an environment where people try to avoid failure, they as Simon Sinek says "Lie, Hide and Fake". To have healthy teams, that are highly effective for extended periods of time, you have to start with a foundation of trust and empathy...that foundation begins with you being your authentic self, warts and all! Pretending like they don't exist isn't reality and isn't doing you or the team any favors. Your weaknesses and failures, shows your team they can have weaknesses and failures and still find success! That knowledge and comfort in it, it priceless and goes a long way with people. Be yourself. Own your dark as much as you do your light. We all have both. I hope this was helpful!
