Management vs. Micromanagement

We have heard managers say, "I am not a micromanager, I just know how I want it done" or "no, I don't micromanage, I just help my team because I have done this for so long..." The truth is that most managers have no idea when then are micromanaging. On this episode of the People Centric Podcast we break down what it means to be a micromanager, what it means to manage, and how you might need to do both to be an effective leader. Listen now!

Executive Presence

The phrase "executive presence" probably conjures up images of someone standing at the front of a table or at a large wooden desk wearing a dark grey suit.  You might even think that this person is decisive, or an innovator. These traits are often assigned to someone with "executive presence", but did you know that a study of executives' characteristics by Gallup Strengths Finder showed that there is not a magical combination of traits that make up an executive? We discuss this and what the People Centric team has seen that makes up a good executive on this episode.

Dealing With Bad Ideas

Bad ideas exist. We would venture to guess that you have been in a meeting where a bad idea was dropped. OR you have had to execute an idea that you think is terrible. A bad idea refers to a concept, plan, or decision that is considered unwise, ineffective, or potentially harmful. It may be based on flawed reasoning, insufficient information, or a lack of consideration for potential consequences.
We discuss that what may be considered a bad idea in one situation could potentially lead to positive outcomes in another. Ideas can be subjective, and the assessment of whether an idea is good or bad often depends on the specific circumstances, goals, and values involved.

The Shadow You

In the field of psychology, "the shadow" refers to a concept developed by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. Jung believed that the human psyche is composed of various components, including the ego (conscious mind) and the personal unconscious. Within the personal unconscious lies what he called the shadow.
The shadow represents the aspects of our personality that we tend to reject, deny, or repress. It consists of the parts of ourselves that we deem unacceptable, undesirable, or socially unacceptable. These can include our fears, insecurities, aggressive tendencies, selfishness, and other traits that we find difficult to acknowledge or integrate into our conscious identity.
In this episode of the People Centric podcast we share how the Shadow shows up at work and what you can do to avoid these negative connotations and work toward the brightest version of yourself.

There’s No Crying In Business

Every time I hear the phrase "It's just business, it isn't personal" I cry. Because BUSINESS IS PERSONAL - we spend our time here, we work hard here, and we want to do well here. So to say that giving my time and energy and effort isn't personal is pretty crummy. But what happens when we feel sad or mad or frustrated at work? Is it ok to have emotions at work? Is it ok to cry at work? Is it ok to say that you are mad at work? We talk about all of this and more on this episode of the People Centric Podcast.

Employee Experience ＞ Customer Experience

For many years the phrase "The customer is always right" has been something that managers have touted and employees have rolled their eyes at. And even more recently, in light of the entitled customer era, the customer is most definitely not always right. In this episode of the People Centric Podcast we talk about why it is more important to focus on the Employee Experience and not the customer experience, because, after all - the employees are the ones who make the experience for the customer. Listen now to find out more!
