#178: So You Have an Open Door Policy… But Is It Working?


Listen Later

The “Open Door Policy” came about from the days where we actually had offices and doors.

However, it’s still a valuable concept today, to promote free-flowing communication between a leader and their people.

It’s not all roses though, there are some pitfalls that can occur if we aren’t careful.

In this episode, I take a look at some of the challenges that can occur with this approach and how you can overcome them.

Apply For Your Complimentary Coaching Session

I invite you to a complimentary Discovery Coaching Session, where we will:

  • Get clear on your most important goals and what is most important to you
  • Identify blockers and limiting beliefs that are holding you back; and
  • Develop key actions you can take to move forward and make progress.

You will leave the Discovery Coaching Session with a sense of clarity, purpose and practical steps to move you forward.

There is no obligation to pursue further coaching after this session - but many people do!
