Responsibility Means Being Serious About Growth - Clear and Open

Five Ways To Recognize Serious Inner Work

“That’s an issue I’m working on.” “I’m a work in progress.” “I do a lot of work on myself.” Sometimes these are statements of responsibility. Sometimes they’re excuses. How do you tell the difference? Popularity of any anything tends to dilute. I’m reminded of the Devil Wears Prada Scene where we’re taught how trends from…

Here’s one crazy idea that has the power to change an entire company: no adult should need supervision. I’ll explain.

We love quick-fixes. Unfortunately, for the things that really matter, they rarely work. Think about your expertise. Think about your greatest achievements.

What If Courage Isn’t What You Think?

Leadership, Management, MentoringBy Josef ShapiroNovember 4, 2016Leave a comment

Paul was afraid, but that wasn’t the problem, as you’ll see. He needed to have a tough conversation with Sheila, an employee of fifteen years. Sheila needed to either change or leave.

Employee engagement is perhaps the greatest problem facing workplaces today. Statistics show it’s only getting worse. Many of the problems that well-meaning leaders and managers struggle with are actually only symptoms of deeper engagement problems. You may not even realize it’s there.
