Business Culture
Workplace culture hides in plain sight.
Is yours toxic or flourishing?
In 2001, my new training company grew fast. When I filled a sales role, the new hire was expected to do the job they were hired to do, or soon they gone.
Back then, as a rookie manager, I didn’t know exactly what to say to improve team performance. I would not respond to a problem quickly, but hoped it would just go away. This developed into a full-blown limiting belief; “If I critique poor performance, I will offend people; they won’t stay.”
When I found the courage to hear the results of my team’s upwards feedback survey, it dawned on me that perhaps I was abdicating the task of coaching poor performance. (But wasn’t that the job I paid them to do; to perform?) Turning a blind eye to poor behavior does not mean it will stop as if by magic. Behavior accepted is behavior condoned.
It wasn’t until my second decade in business that I experienced an epiphany. Reading a description of an “Avoider Manager” I recognized myself in the mirror. Hand on heart, I vowed to own my responsibility as a leader and build the capability of my people.
Reading a ton of books on the subject, attending workshops, I lived and breathed the craft of leadership. As a result of being proactively immersed in it for more than a decade, I’m now considered an expert.
