When is the last time you dealt with burnout? What about your team? I’m hearing more and more about people dealing with stress that is leading to burnout. I don’t know if it is a consequence of the pandemic, economic uncertainty, financial pressures, the housing market, or some combination thereof, but it is real. I recently saw this article in HBR and really liked the two-minute checkup. It’s quick and easy and accurate. You can use it multiple times throughout the year and your team will benefit from this tool. Give it a try and let me know your results.
How are you at delivering difficult conversations to your team? It’s never easy, but sometimes we make it much worse than it has to be. This month’s second article gives some great examples of what not to do. If you watch the TV show Succession, you’ll definitely recognize some of these tactics. Don’t be like the Roy family!
