I help leaders motivate top performance by leveraging human desire. | Speaker | Workshop Leader | Coach
"We're a family..." = we want something from you. "The business has decided..." = we're taking something from you. Employers code-switch like this often when they communicate with us. Sometimes they approach us as a group of well-intentioned humans. Other times they approach us as an entity; a configuration of systems, processes, priorities and needs. I'm not interested in villainizing either approach. I'm interested in how we as employees can expect this and navigate it to our benefit. Here's what has helped me most in this area: 1. Root my self-worth in who I am and not in what I produce - this increases confidence. 2. Limit my emotional attachment to my employer/job - this increases clarity. 3. Take others' behavior at face value - this increases actionable insight. 4. Prioritize the life I want over my employer's success - this increases performance, motivation and mobility. Book some time with me if you want to put this into action in your life and career. - https://buff.ly/46h4mYU #coaching #bestadvice #sales #leadership #management #careers

Fantastic points my friend!
Never assume you know everything; Never try and control others actions; You can only control yourself!!
