The Great Revitalization

Why have people's opinions on work evolved?

• lives revolved around work but they want work to fit into their lives

Meaning from work

• different people need different things from their work
• but overall they do want meaning and purpose in what they do

"Are You Addressing Psychosocial Risks at Your Workplace?" was a recent Gallup article by Camilla Frumar, Patricia Hubbard, and Mansi Sachdeva.

The story talks about 3 psychosocial hazards in the workplace:

• lack of role clarity
• inadequate reward and recognition
• poor support

The article states, "As part of this new regulation, Australian businesses will soon have a more explicit duty to manage psychosocial hazards in the workplace and be required to implement control measures to proactively reduce these risks."

"Knowing Everyone’s Salaries Can Light a Fire Under Workers" was a recent Wall Street Journal write-up by Courtney Vinopal.

• New laws have gone into effect requiring pay ranges
• When employees learn how their pay compares to peers, they can work harder as long as they perceive the system to be fair
• Conversations about pay are leading to direct discussions around expectations

https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeldwatkins/ (LinkedIn)

==========
The Importance of Transitions 

• we go through so many of them
• they're times when there's a lot at stake
• oftentimes there's an overlay of multiple transitions at once

Clean Break During Transition

• two roles in parallel is too tough
• the point of transitioning at all is to move to the new role
• usually the difficulties are the result of poor planning
• wrap thing up in your old job quickly

Promotions

• delegation looks different after a promotion
• you're now communicating from a distance
• you might be leading former peers

Onboarding at a New Company

• usually this is a lateral move
• culture and politics are usually the reason for failure here, not competence

STARS Framework

• Startup, Turnaround, Accelerated growth, Realignment, Sustained success
• understanding which context is important

Culture

• layers of values, behaviors, and language
• real values don't necessarily match what's written on the walls  

 Learning

• gain actionable insight asap in your new role
• have a living learning agenda
• identify sources of actionable insight
• be systematic in asking questions
• active listening is a critical skill

In this episode, we talk about:

Learning

• You have to look for it, pay attention to it
• Stop and analyze what happened
• Stuff doesn't happen TO you, it happens FOR you
• It's like building a muscle
• Obstacles are cleverly disguised opportunities

Compartmentalization

• A certain level is necessary so we don't derail our lives
• But we have to go back to deal with those compartmentalized things in a healthy way

Chair Flying

• It's a combination of meditation + visualization + role-playing to prepare
• The added benefit is stress inoculation

Perspective

• Gunfights & mountains
• Gunfights are finite, while the beauty of the mountains is infinite
• It's important to keep the gunfights in perspective

"Managers Have Major Impact On Mental Health: How To Lead For Wellbeing" was a recent Forbes article by Tracy Brower.

For 69% of people, their manager affects their mental health more than their therapist or doctor. With this in mind, here are some things managers can do:

1. Manage yourself: resist the urge to take on extra work and overload yourself
2. Recognize your impact: empathize with others and ask how they're doing
3. Give people a reason to care: remind them of the purpose of their work
4. Connect people: be accessible and responsive yourself, while connecting team members to each other
5. Provide challenge: find the right amount of stress for people to develop and be motivated
6. Give people choice: autonomy helps wellbeing

In this episode, we talk about:

Groups v. Teams

• Groups and teams are different
• Groups are cooperative, willing to work together, and reactively supportive
• Teams are collaborative, feel a sense of shared ownership, and are proactively supportive
• Groups are good for task-based work
• Teams are better when we need to discover value amidst complexity
• Most organizations are structured for group-based work

Leaders Shouldn’t Have All The Answers

• You’re promoted for your last job’s skills
• You can’t scale yourself
• Leaders can be the bottleneck to high performance
• Organizations likely look at the leader as the expert

Efficiency v. Effectiveness

• Efficiency is doing something fast, but what if it’s fast and wrong?
• Effectiveness is doing something well
• Collaboration is not efficient
• You have to take the time for the team, take time for learning

Resilient Learning Teams

• People don’t come to work trying to blame
• But there’s blame all over in organizations
• The momentum in organizations looks for a false sense of control
• Put effort into what you can learn rather than what you falsely believe you can avoid
• There’s no checklist to create that safe environment, but to promote learning focus on essential motivators and resilience factors

In this episode, we talk about the following:

Interviews

• When interviewing, look for a place aligned with your values, that will challenge you, and where you'll report to someone invested in your growth.
• Have a healthy objectivity about your job opportunities.
• Behavioral interviews are the norm.
• Be prepared with questions about the organization.
• Search committees are valuable when they bring a diversity of perspectives, members are present and engaged, and aligned on job definition.

 Bad Managers

• Maybe they've not been coached?
• Anyone can become an effective manager.
• They might be missing organizational training.

Culture

• It's the set of values, practices, norms, and rituals that makeup where we work.
• Toxic cultures tend to have a lack of trust, lack of transparency, and/or inconsistent accountability.
• Leaders can help culture by modeling behaviors, creating incentives for others to come along, operationalizing values, and confronting bad actors.
• Practice respect and show compassion.

Hybrid v. Remote v. In-Person

• Remote/Hybrid present challenges for building camaraderie and holding meetings.
• An intentionally handled hybrid setup may be the best.
• But there's not enough history or data to conclusively weigh in on this.
