Episode 199: When Winning Looks Different to Each Person

We believe that when organizations have clear key objectives it makes it easier for everyone to know what winning looks like. But we also know that company key objectives are great to have, but don't always mean a lot to the people who have to, you know, actually do the work. It is so common to see grand key objectives, but then front line staff just really hoping that they can get to the four urgent emails that they have in their in box before the end of the day. Leaders often forget that what winning looks like for them is not what winning looks like for their employees. In today's episode, we discuss aligning winning so everyone can feel successful in their jobs.

Episode 198: Toxic Positivity

You know when you are having a really bad day and someone cheerfully points out that, "It could be worse" or that you should "look on the bright side." And then you want to push those people into the street... yeah, we do too. And those things happen on a bigger level when it comes to work and managers. We have seen companies who have a toxic positivity culture and gloss over massive revenue losses, huge layoffs, or even day to day problems with a simple, "but we are doing so great and we are so proud of the culture here." In today's episode of the People Centric Podcast, we examine the pitfalls of this type of positivity. Listen now!
