People Solutions Strategic Talent Management

Art and Sue recently had an opportunity to talk with one of our clients about their experience with STM’s leadership coaching.  Listen in as we chat with Ellen Didier and Sarah Macaluso of Red Sage Communications and discuss our unique approach to this process:  

 

•          It’s not about fixing a weak performer; it’s about helping someone with strong leadership capacity improve their leadership skills 

•          Focus on addressing specific challenges in a defined time frame. 

•          Involvement from senior leadership is essential to define expectations and hold people accountable

In a recent team meeting, the subject of work-life balance came up and how people from different generations have different perspectives on what it really means. It was then that we realized that among the four of us on the full-time STM team, we have four generations represented. That would make a great podcast, right? Listen in while we talk about:


Common threads
Differences
Maximizing generational advantages

 Appreciating generational diversity and making it work to your advantage can be a challenge. STM can help

In our latest podcast, Art and Sue tackle the issue of Influence vs. Manipulation.  Empathy and the ability to read people is an asset, right?  What if that ability is used for selfish or political gain?  Listen in as we talk about: 


What are the differences between these closely related capacities?
Why is it important to be able to determine one from the other?
How can you determine if someone is genuinely empathetic and interested in making a connection, or if they’re using their ability to use social cues to just feed to what you want to hear?

 Need more tools to help you avoid falling into the manipulation trap?  STM’s assessments can help!
