The phrase “That’s not how we do things here” can often have crushing impacts for people who are trying to thrive at work. In this episode, Chris and Josh explore where leaders commonly get stuck in the ‘old way’ of doing things. Together, they invite listeners to better examine the outcomes leaders and their teams are working towards, and then back into new ways of trying different approaches to get the work done. Curiosity is a powerful tool to better understand where you and your team members may be getting frustrated or stuck. Remember, you’re not alone. This is a common challenge. When you’re ready to explore more, listen in here.
TAKEAWAYS!
How are you defining results? If the result is only a number, you’re likely sacrificing something else.
Curiosity is a magic pill here. This is an invitation to explore. What are we trying to do together? Asking better questions can reveal opportunities and challenges in service of what you’re striving for.
One of the most powerful questions we can ask, especially in places of tension, is “What does the organization need?” “What could get in our way?” is another great question as well.
