How To Give Negative Feedback To Your Boss

It’s has happened again.  
 
They’ve done something that is not right.  
 
They’ve put themselves in a position that makes you feel bad.

How To Make Sure Your Team Feels Appreciated

Things are hard for your entire team and organization.

People are being stretched from left to right.

You, as a leader, need to find a way to appreciate your team.

If you don’t find a way to appreciate your team, people are going to feel like you don’t care about them.

They’ll feel like you don’t value the contribution they make to the organization.

They’ll feel like you’re not invested in them.

When they start to feel like this, they’ll become uninvested in you and the organization.

This is why many people resign from the workplace today; because of a lack of appreciation.

If you don’t appreciate your team, they will leave and then you’ll have a turnover problem.

You’ll get backed up with more challenges and unable to meet the needs of all the people who are demanding your expertise.

You must avoid this at all costs.

Here are three simple things that you should be doing to show your team that you appreciate them.

You’ve got way too much work to do and not enough time to get it done.   Your boss is coming in and asking you for answers to questions that he asked you two weeks ago.  But you haven’t gotten to that project yet because you’re still working on a project from last month.  You don’t have enough hands to manage […]

When The People You Love Don’t Support Your Dreams

I know it can be a little disconcerting when the person that you care about the most or the people that you love don’t seem to be invested in your professional career.

They don’t seem to care about the work that you’ve been so passionate about your entire life.

We have our own passions, and our partners and the people that we care about have other passions.

It can feel very lonely and even debilitating.

You can feel unsupported.

This can lead to isolation at home.

You feel like you’re in it by yourself and start to think, “Why do I even need to have them in my life if they don’t care about what I do?”

You’re trying to build a future for them.

You want them interested and invested, but they can’t see the forest before the trees.

This can make you resentful and break up your family in ways that you never thought it could.

How do you address this situation?
