Today I'd like to poke a little bit at the idea that "venting" is a healthy workplace behavior. Most of us have "vented" to a coworker from time to time - and I'm certainly no exception. When frustrations rise and...

Emergence Consulting What happens when you work in an all female office? Sometimes it's not much fun.

OK - I know I'm heading into dangerous territory this week. Whenever you make generalizations about a group, you risk ticking people off. It may not be politically correct, but I'd like to talk about the problems that can arise...

I went from 10 years of being the only female working with 25 men to being one of 50 women. Everyone of those dynamics was unexpected, in play, and painful. Being aware of possible dynamics BEFORE taking the job might help others. Thanks Cheri.

Good Morning Enlightened Managers, One of the things I haven't talked about too much on this blog is the idea of competition in the management ranks. Certainly there are some unhealthy aspects to competition, such as back stabbing, game playing,...

Synthiea Kaldi Make sure your staff knows the comapny's/team's priorities & goals. That way they can make decisions that are on-target without your help.

Maria Yeckel

Maria Yeckel Hired from outside the team? Research to find out if there is a person in the team who the group would have been preferred to be internallly promoted into this role. This person should not be treated as your rival. Find out why this is the case and integrate this person into department leadership opportunities. Thi...s not only shows the new team you care to learn about their needs...but also that you reward and recognize leaders in the making.

Pamela Villars

Pamela Villars My advice for new managers: Focus more on listening to your employees than telling them as you begin. This includes asking them to tell you about the business, when discussing performance and when solving problems.

I could go on and on, but you asked for one. :-)
