January 23, 2020Tips on How To Deal With A Micromanager
Micromanagers aren't always doing it just to be jerks. They may not even know they are coming across this way. Often they have learned bad habits from other bad leaders. Other times they are under stress and aren't sure how to deal.
Tips:
Try to give them the benefit of the doubt

Try to explain how you felt during a specific time the micro managing was too much

Offer a counter solution

Accept that it may never change and create a plan

Get support from your team

Inform, inform, inform

Think ahead

Uncover the fears

Set boundaries

Evaluate yourself and your work

Proactively work to increase trust where / when you can

January 09, 2020How To Interview A Potential Employer For The Right Culture Fit
It is not fun or cool to be excited about a new job just to start and find out it is terrible.
Sometimes we can avoid it.
Other times we can't, people are really good liars.
Questions to help assess culture fit:
Ask all the people you interview with why they like working for the company

If you talk to people who will be on the team you'll be working on, ask them to describe the team dynamics

Research

Go through your network, do you know anyone who works / worked there?

Make sure you get to meet/interview with the right people (future manager, peers, people you'll partner with, etc.)

Know what culturally hasn't been a fit for you and ask professional questions around those specific items

Don't be afraid to ask follow up questions to answers in number 6

Peer question - what's on thing you would change in your role and why
Stay or go?
It depends!
How bad is it

Benefits to staying?

How miserable are you?

How long has it been?

Confidence in avoiding this in your next role?

January 02, 2020Let’s Talk About Your 2020 Goals
2020 is going to be an exciting and amazing year!
Before we set new goals think about your current role and reflect on:
How do you feel on Sunday nights?

How do you feel about the work you do everyday?

How do you feel about the team you work with?

How do you feel about your leader?

How do you feel about the organization you work for?
Feel free to make that pros / cons list :)
Now let's think about what you would change / improve:
Sunday nights

Work you do everyday

Team

Leader / manager / boss

Organization
Let's dream now. Perfect world scenario, you have everything you want, no limitations, truly perfect scenario, what would your career look like:
Sunday nights

Work you do everyday

Team

Leader / manager / boss

Organization
Super nerds! Grab an excel or flip chart. Put your answers together. Maybe put some categories to it.
Current facts / info

Feelings

Change / improve

Pros

Cons

Perfect world scenario

Etc.
Laying it all out, you can see the various buckets / areas. This also allows you to see the full picture and identify goals. And also the gaps. The gaps can help identify what your goals could be.
Make sure your goals are SMART
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Attainable / Achievable
R - Relevant
T - Time based
Now reverse engineer your goals. Work them backwards and map out each step!
