You know that asking the right questions will make you a stronger leader. But it’s hard. Not all questions have the same impact. And it’s risky, you never know what the response will be– which means you need to stay fully present to be helpful. “When you ask a question you’re giving up some of your power. It means you’re willing to sit in that discomfort for the good of another person’s growth.” -Michael Bungay Stanier.

On The Job

JUNE 8, 2016

In my previous post, I wrote about the importance of spending some time thinking (while on vacation) about whether you're in the right job or right career. Maybe after some soul-searching you've decided you like the job or the career is just fine -- but you do wish you could make some minor adjustments. Perhaps you realize that you hate working late almost every day so that you miss playing ball with your kids in the yard or having a nice dinner out with friends.

Make a list of five things you want to do that you’re not doing. No cross out all but one. Everyone can make change in our lives, but not that much change. And you’re not making the change you really want because you haven’t realized that you can’t do everything on your list. That should be the end of the post. But it’s too difficult.

My husband and I are driving to cello lessons in Madison, because my son is going to a new teacher, Uri Vardi. Usually Carla would drive, because I don’t drive, and if my husband drives all the time then he will, effectively, be my driver. So I can either pay a lot of money for a driver or a lot of money for a divorce. My husband will ditch lesson to play disc golf.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce.
