Leadership Skills: Are you about to scream? How to Manage Through Dissent and Disobedience

Sep 12, 2022

Are you about ready to scream at the top of your lungs about team members that are wonderful "push backers"? But it has gotten out of hand. Lets talk.

How to Give Negative Feedback in a Positive Way

Aug 25, 2022

We all have that manager or leader that just stinks at giving negative feedback or waits until the yearly performance review to give it all at once. We train leaders to be giving constant feedback as a habit and culture within their team and company. The more it is given it just becomes feedback and not negative or positive as a label.

Negative feedback – it’s never something you look forward to giving as a leader.
However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it. Although it’s difficult to say negative things about your employees’ work, it’s worth remembering that your staff can only thrive if you give them direction.

Negative feedback is a method of giving your team members the tools they need to improve and get better at their jobs.

According to one study, 83% of employees say they appreciate both positive and negative feedback.

So, how do you...

Apr 11, 2022

People tend to wonder if their life is headed in the right direction when things aren't going well for them. That presupposes that people enjoy a sense of ease when life goes well for them. They don't feel the need to question their life when things are going well.
