If you're worried about your financial status in these unprecedented times (and who amongst us isnt?) then this article that I wrote a while back and had scheduled to publish today may prove to be a reminder of how important choosing one's mindset can be...
Let's start a new 'pandemic' - one of better listening skills. It will help us all get through these troubling times as well as the good ones that will be returning... What do you think?
During this unprecedented point in world history, I want to focus on some key skills that will help us all build better relationships with one another. I hope this will be helpful for families now spending far more time together than 'normal' life usually sees, to co-workers who are now having to work remotely... everyone!
There is a real challenge in managing staff in an economic downturn.
For many Leaders, the first instinct is to drive everyone harder to ensure that the maximum productivity and return is created. In the short term, this may appear to work but in the medium to long term all it does is fuel stress, increase burnout and create an underlying resentment that can become really corrosive

It is well known that the strength of people working effectively together is qualitatively stronger than that of the individuals of that team working in isolation. The success of the Corporate Leader is dependent on how well he or she can maximize the potential of those they lead. Any corporate leader who is keen to develop strategies for ongoing growth and success needs to enable their staff not only as individuals but as members of a variety of teams.
Here's how to have The Hard Conversations
Unprofessional conduct or Poor Performance:
Unprofessional behaviour, a poor attitude, not coming up with the goods are all issues which most managers have to deal with at some time or other. You can minimize the need to deal with these situations by having clear explicit expectations which are shared from the outset with your team and modelling the behaviour you want etc. Let's assume that you have those things in place and one or more of you staff are disappointing you because of their attitude, behaviour or performance. How should you tackle it?
