Insights on Leadership Movements and the Latest Open Roles

Engaging in challenging discussions is a valuable gift you can give to your teams and yourself. It is a gift because if you sense that something is amiss, it is likely that others feel it too. Ignoring issues only prolongs negative emotions and exacerbates the difficulty of solving problems. By acknowledging difficult topics and having open conversations, we create better experiences, contexts, and situations. Such conversations may cause discomfort for either party or both, depending on their individual or shared life and workplace experiences.

Read the tools to help you confront the conversations that need to be had when something is not quite right, here.
