Difficult Conversations - Subordinates

Presented by Bridget DiCello - Speaker, Executive Coach, Author

Do you often wish you saw more initiative from your team, were able to increase their engagement, and could connect with them in a way that accessed their potential? In successful employee relationships, there is a healthy balance between the support and coaching the boss provides, and the demands for consistently great performance that are placed on the employee. Most boss-employee relationships are skewed to one side or the other. The most effective boss is a great coach, bringing out the best in each employee while demanding their hard work on their own professional development. The challenge often lies in the self-confidence the employee possesses, the skills they still need to develop and distractions that cause them to lose focus. Push them harder, support and coach them aggressively, and bring the challenges that remain to our Mini-Lab and let's look at how those conversations can be more effective.
