How to Keep Envy from Poisoning Your Team\u2019s Culture<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Envy is often born out of deep feelings of inadequacy. We resent the people we feel inferior to for what they have, what we want, or what we feel we deserve. We also tend to dislike ourselves for having these feelings in the first place. In an attempt to combat our emotions, we draw self-gratifying comparisons. Though human, when leaders behave in this way, they create a culture in which putting others down builds themselves up. Such cultures can be incredibly destructive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What to Say When Your Employee Makes a Mistake \u2013 Difficult Conversations<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing to know how to communicate in a way that inspires others and brings out their best. It\u2019s another to actually do it, in the heat of the moment, when your emotions are high.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are a few keys to making it happen:-<\/p>\n

1.When you feel emotional, be suspicious of any instinctive reaction. Before saying or doing anything, pause and take a breath.<\/p>\n

2.Pose a silent question to yourself: What is the outcome you want your next move to achieve? In other words, what do you want to happen as a result of your communication? Make sure you get to a real outcome. If your answer is that you want the other person to feel bad, ask yourself why. What are you hoping will result from their feeling bad? If your hopeful response is that they will make better decisions next time, then that is the outcome you\u2019re going for. (The feeling-bad part is how you think they will get there \u2014 but you\u2019re wrong.)<\/p>\n

3.Decide what you will do or say that will most likely lead to your ultimate outcome. Often, what you\u2019ll find is the conversation that holds the greatest likelihood of getting to your ultimate outcome is about the future, not the past.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a leader, and you\u2019re dissatisfied with someone\u2019s performance, take that breath, identify the outcome you want, and then ask them what they plan to do in the future.<\/p>\n
