In this episode of ICommunicate, MindsetGo President and Founder Mark Altman is joined by Michael Ferguson to discuss how embracing change leads to a more positive and productive company culture, encouraging feedback from employees, and monitoring the engagement level of our teams.

Segment 1:

What can often prove more difficult than changing a habit is recognizing what needs to be changed in the first place. How do we know when something about our attitude or behaviors needs to change? What awareness can we gain from taking the time to self-reflect on our own actions and productivity?

Segment 2:

With only so much time in a day, we’re faced with the daunting task of deciding what takes priority and what gets pushed to the wayside. Where should team engagement be on that list of priorities, and how can we fit the time into our schedule to check in on them? How do we shift our attitude around team engagement check-ins from tedious and time consuming to productive and fulfilling?

Segment 3:

One of the most difficult aspects of change is embracing a new mindset rather than just viewing it as “necessary.” How can sharing challenges with our kids help to teach them about empathy and the process of problem-solving? Why should leaders be excited about the opportunity to meet with their teams and check in on their engagement?

Segment 4:

Far too often, company culture is an aspect of a leader’s job that isn’t prioritized nearly as much as it needs to be. How can we ensure that people within our teams are communicating and engaging with one another, including remote workers? How can productivity be negatively affected when we don’t prioritize company culture?
