When you’re a manager, you take on accountability for your team’s performance and behavior.
Think you don’t have time for some staff appreciation, think again.
Arriving late to a meeting happens to the best of us.
I have several friends who had babies about a year ago.
It’s 9:30am. You’ve scheduled the next 2.5 hours to work on your report which is due at noon.
What a gift it is to work with overachievers!
I believe the interview process starts when you submit a cover letter and resume.
Promotions, like any new position, come with growing pains.
In the last post, I explained that delegating is so important because leaders are paid for their leadership, not for their ability to do their employees’ tasks.
Leadership roles can be tricky to navigate. The higher you move up, the more delegating becomes very important.
Does your behavior in a meeting improve the efficiency of that meeting? Or does it contribute to time wasted?
Whether you’re in sales and a customer wants a discount, or you’re a teacher and a student is breaking a rule, conflict arises in the work place all the time.
Do you stay late at work? There seems to be this unspoken rule about how working late means you demonstrating great commitment to your company.
When you are in a meeting or a lecture, and the floor is yours to speak, starting your sentence with, “Sorry, but I was just wondering…” or “Sorry, but I just wanted to say…” is so problematic!
Trainings, coalition meetings, a networking happy hour, and more.
My general policy is don’t cry at work. Crying does not help you move up.
You’re ready to create an agenda for an upcoming meeting. Where do you start?
I recently attended a writing workshop. The room was filled with highly educated and accomplished participants.
Unless you wear a uniform to work, dress codes are one of those policies that provide parameters but are not an exact science.
So much awesome networking happens at conferences.
