The Weekly Rundown: Embrace Feedback, Navigating Tensions at Work, and more
In case you missed it, we had some great stories this past week at Management Matters. Whatever challenge you’re facing, we’ve got the resources to help you through it!
Navigating Tensions at Work as a Leader
If your workplace doesn’t have tension, you might be a self-employed team of one! Tension and strained relationships keep us from doing our best work- find out how you can take active steps to navigate these circumstances.
The Higher You Climb, the Less You See
Do you remember what it was like to be an entry-level employee? The candid conversations, the “oh, shoot, I hope my boss didn’t overhear that” feeling when you shared how you really felt, or even just the acute awareness of the customer experience. The higher up in the org chart you progress, the harder it is to stay in touch with these things. Check this story out to find out how you can fix this problem.
