Listen in as I share strategies for having successful 1:1 conversations/meetings with your team and why they are important.

Do you have to have tough conversations?

Yes, you absolutely do. As a leader, this is non-negotiable. 

Why should you have them?

• Accountability,

When should you have them?

As soon as possible after an incident or something happened. Once every 3-6 months, annual reviews once a year.

Otherwise, after onboarding:

• 3, 6 weeks

How to prepare

Remember, when we're in a stressful situation, we either fight, flight or freeze. So, preparation is key!

What if things go pear-shaped?

Stop the meeting. Say I can see you are getting frustrated, I can see that we won’t agree today, before someone gets upset, let’s reconvene in 24 hours.

Listener question: Help! My Boss Wants Me to Agree with his/her Lies in Front of Others, what should I do?

What would you do if you were constantly placed in a difficult situation by your boos/line manager where you are expected to agree with their lies in front of others?

Would you agree with it, so that you can save your job, save face or avoid bullying or even worse, being fired?

Or would you stand up against it and say something?

What would you do?

In this episode, I'm going to look at:

1. lying from a biblical perspective and how God feels about lying and yourself agreeing with people who lie. 

2. practical tips and strategies that you can implement to NOT agree with the lies. 

Proverbs 12:17 - An honest witness tells the truth, a false witness tells lies.

Exodus 20:16 - You must not testify falsely against your neighbour.

Psalm 24:4-5 - Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. They will receive the Lord’s blessing and have a right relationship with God, their saviour.

Proverbs 2:7 - He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. This section here is titled: “The benefits of wisdom”. Now, remember, Solomon was the wisest man that ever lived. God told him that he could ask for anything, and he asked for wisdom, and that’s what God gave him.

Proverbs 6:16-19 - There are six things the LORD hates— no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.

Proverbs 12:22-24 - The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who tell the truth. The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness. Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave.

Proverbs 10:9 - People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will slip and fall

Psalm 25:19-21 - See how many enemies I have and how viciously they hate me! Protect me! Rescue my life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge. May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you!

Lying

Proverbs 26:28 - A lying tongue hates its victims, and flattering words cause ruin.

Proverbs 17:22 - The crooked heart will not prosper; the lying tongue tumbles into trouble.

Proverbs 21:6 - Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap.

Proverbs 25:18 - Telling lies about others is as harmful as hitting them with an ax, wounding them with a sword, or shooting them with a sharp arrow.

Exodus 23:1 - You must not pass along false rumours. You must not cooperate with evil people by lying on the witness stand.

Matthew 15:19 - For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.

Bearing false witness

Proverbs 14:5 - An honest witness does not lie; a false witness breathes lies.

Proverbs 14:25 - A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is a traitor.

Proverbs 19:5 - A false witness will not go unpunished, nor will a liar escape.

Proverbs 21:28 - A false witness will be cut off, but a credible witness will be allowed to speak.
