Following on from the discussion about emotional decision making, Kim and Fulyana explore the first of two case studies to see how to manage the over zealous and positive members of teams that are flying high with results. Can a team be too positive? Does the decision making get affected in the same way as a negative team?

This week is the first part of a three part series of podcasts based on keeping emotions out of our decision making activities. In this podcast Kim and Fulyana talk through some of the ways they have been able to master this activity. The next two podcasts are devoted to case studies related to emotional decision making in the workplace.

When is the best time to give feedback? If performance is not up to standard should you hit it hard and quickly? This week Kim and Fulyana use a couple of timely situations to explore when, how and what to do for the best practise of giving and receiving feedback – whether its positive or “constructive” (Fulyana’s favourite word on this context!)

Are you making decisions about which event will be best for your organisation? Do you need to get the most from your promotion budget? Kim and Fulyana talk from first hand experience about the best ways to get useful returns on the investment you make in both dollars and staff time from these activities.

We all do it – say to ourselves “It’s just a meeting with….. I know them, it will be fine”. This week Kim and Fulyana explore the reasons behind being prepared for a meeting and having that all important debrief after a meeting – who should be involved, why it is necessary and how to handle the challenges of team participation.
