Care About People Yet Demand Results – Here’s How
When we are one person at work and another at home, nothing seems effortless and both people are miserable. Often we are not even aware that both people exist until we’re willing to be honest in our self-observation. The need to also be honest with members of our team can take on that same confusing overtone. How do we care about our people while at the same time hold them accountable for results? The two goals can seem contradictory when in fact, they are not. Employees want guidance, boundaries and someone who is willing to help them grow and get better. Often times that comes with tough, necessary conversations a manager must be willing to have. Jonathan Raymond experienced the confusion of being two people and neither one was happy. Being miserable sent him on a mission of discovering the methods for holding people accountable while pushing them to grow and become happier in their life. The result is his new book Good Authority, and he visits with us to share insights.
