It’s worth a double-click when we managers feel intense need that our team be “happy” at work. Like a therapist would say, “it’s ok to not be happy sometimes.” Maybe we need a creative outlet of our own, besides work.
Work is work. Seth Godin talks about being “professional,” versus being “authentic” (This is Marketing, 2018). Solid approach.
Wow! Such a crisp and timely post! "Don't be a therapist" is my key takeaway. I'm in the midst of group discussions with my team and can totally relate to this.
Agree with everything.. being empathic doesn't mean solving their problems for them, it is creating a safe space for them to bring their authentic selves and a safety net to take reasonable risks and learn from them
Wow, this is so timely for me as a new manager who transitioned from peer to manager and is working on this skill (and others). Thank YOU! Super insightful
Spot on, as usual. ❤️
