  • Why We Argue Instead of Resolving Conflicts

    Why We Argue Instead of Resolving Conflicts
    Sep 18 2024

    You make a point. They make a counterpoint. You counter their counterpoint with your original point. They recycle their counterpoint. You both think the other person isn't listening because if the other truly understood you, they would agree with you because you're obviously right.

    Many of our conflicts turn circular because we get confused about whether we misunderstand one another or whether we understand each other perfectly and just disagree. Sometimes leadership means being the one to slow down and figure out what's happening, real time, so you can figure out the best thing to do next.

  • Differentiation

    Differentiation
    Sep 3 2024

    One of the most important EQ skills for leaders (or for people in general) is differentiation. Differentiation is about learning how to tell the difference between your own emotions, identities, and experiences and those of others so we can stay connected without becoming unproductively enmeshed in other people's stuff. There are a thousand ways it shows up at work, including micromanaging, empathy, and feedback.

  • Navigating Weaknesses

    Navigating Weaknesses
    Aug 20 2024

    "How do you handle weaknesses?" It's one of the most common questions from leaders that like the idea of a strengths based perspective, but also have questions about what growth and development look like around the things we're not so good at. This episode shares ideas about how to navigate your weaknesses rather than attempting to eliminate them as you take a strengths based approach to leadership and professional development.
