So, whatever you’re feeling this week, here are some ways to support your team: ~ Ground yourself ~ Hold your team and hold (optional) space ~ Ask what people need and share concrete supports ~ Invest in meaningful connections, so we can prepare and move forward together Read more about managing when things are not okay: https://lnkd.in/gzecWf4z Find additional resources in our latest newsletter: https://lnkd.in/gtQxrFYP

Happy Labor Day, everyone. We believe a strong relationship between management and labor can make organizations stronger and more effective. That’s why we are pro-union. We celebrate the role labor unions have played, and we support our clients to define a pro-union approach. As TMC’s head of coaching Ashley Pinedo-Carlson says, “Managers need to be cycle-breakers.” As a pro-union manager, you can: ~ adopt a conspire-and-align approach to management ~ own your positional power ~ acknowledge contradictions and tensions ~ understand your sphere of control (and work within it!)
