the Reward, Hard-Working Employees, are Sick and Tired of Getting

This episode is an eye-opening and practical chat with my colleague and consulting partner Amanda Macdougall about a bad habit, a very bad leadership and management habit that drives your very best employees to the brink and maybe even to drink. Ponder these provocative questions with us: When is a gift not a gift? When is a reward not so rewarding? And why do leaders and managers sometimes reward their best and hardest working employees with the work that others fail to do? In this conversation, Amanda and I unpack some practical and tactical frameworks that will enable leaders, managers, overachieving employees, and underachieving ones to navigate the waters of workload distribution and personal efficiency and effectiveness. And the sometimes tricky and difficult performance conversations that must happen to create a healthier and happier team. Listen in as we explore and learn: What drives a leader to choose this bad workload and people management strategy? How some employees are protecting themselves from the generous gift of their colleagues' work? And how testing our beliefs, proactively articulating expectations, and encouraging everyone to hold their own feet to the fire is the best way forward. Grab a coffee, and let me tell you the tales of woe that birthed this conversation. And don't worry, names have been withheld to protect and incent and the not so incent.
