Episode 156 Are you Coachable?

Giving feedback is always a challenge for leaders - but RECEIVING feedback is just as difficult. No one wants to hear the things they are doing wrong, but most people do want to do good work. One of the best ways to ensure that you are able to receive and apply the feedback you are given is to build a coachable mindset. On today's episode of the People Centric Podcast, Bethany Taff and Diana Royalty discuss the traits that limit or excel a person's willingness to be coached.

Episode 155 Lead Them Well

It should come as no surprise to you that People Centric has our own definition of leadership. We say that leadership is, simply, influence. And that means that everyone is a leader because everyone is influencing someone all the time - whether you realize it or not. Furthermore, most people hear the words "Influence" and "leadership" and we instantly think they are positive things. But on this episode of the People Centric Podcast we examine how people can lead others positively and negatively. We break down the moments in which negative leadership happens and what it looks like to Lead Well.

Episode 154 Managing Oversharing Managers

In our episode about transparency (and when to not be totally transparent), we touched on the topic of a manager oversharing information with employees. Your manager is just a person, and people get overwhelmed, or conflict avoidant, or have a bad day, or are unconfident about how to move something forward - and people can start to overshare things with people that have no power or authority to fix them. And that is what the People Centric Team talks about in this episode of the People Centric Podcast. When a manager brings problems to an employee in an unhealthy way, what is the expectation of that employee, how should that employee react, and what can managers do to avoid this situation entirely? Listen now for our thoughts on this all too common interaction.

Episode 153 Transparently, Not Totally Transparent

People Centric are advocates for transparency in the workplace! We say that communication should go top to bottom, bottom to top, side to side, and everywhere in between. We say that employers should be open, and vulnerable, and even share financials with employees. But we admit that there are times when total transparency is a bad idea. So, in an effort to be transparent with you all, the People Centric team laid out the times when a company or manager can't or shouldn't be totally transparent.

Episode 152 Adult Learning and Teaching at Work

Adults learn differently than kids. When we are kids we absorb information, and since we have little experience with the world, we need a lot of guidance and supervision. As adults, we need so much more: we need to be able to connect our past experiences to the new ones, we need autonomy to problem solve, we need the ability to process and take time away from learning to absorb and solidify the information in our minds, we need the information to be relevant and timely - and the list goes on. In this episode of the People Centric Podcast, the team breaks down how adult learning theory affects our training at work and even how we feel about learning new things at work.

Episode 147 Measuring People’s Productivity

We have all seen someone who we KNOW is just playing solitaire on their computers, but they use a focused face and LOOK super engaged in their "work" - and let's face it, you have probably done that a time or two yourself. It is human nature. But, we work with leaders who are constantly trying to measure or quantify how productive the employees are. They often use things like, "my employees look busy" as a measure of this productivity. In this episode the People Centric team talks through why managers would want to measure productivity, how to do this best, and the pitfalls of wanting humans to be 100% productive 100% of the time.
