Don’t be afraid to show a glimpse of worry now and then. Being real, along with assurances that ‘we’re all in this together,’ can lift the spirits of your group.

Lisa – How right you are with those sentences. As you read in my post, I panicked a bit and felt a bit odd about the situation at my office…my head ran off and made its own snap judgments. When I saw the broker though and knew he was doing what he could to pull things together into a tighter more responsive position, I knew that we were on the right path. We had two meetings in the past two days (since this happened) and I think there’s a sudden difference in the company. A group with a sense of purpose and a certain pride in who we are (as a company) and what we do. The broker made the right move and I think we will be a better, tighter group for it.

“That is not to say that we need to pretend everything is peachy.” I’m glad you brought this up. I get tired of hearing the advice that we should always say everything’s great. It isn’t always great. Isn’t being real more important? I’m not talking about being an emotional vampire, but real is real.

Hi Lisa,

Great thought starter, the effect management can have on a business is immense. Just observing a destructive management environment in my own company right now that is destroying a good culture and removing effective line managers due to a “I have to control” mentality.

Regards

Insightful post Lisa.

Today and the foreseeable future, the advantage will be mental, attitudinal, inspirational and the ability to get things done right and well with a smile.

Everybody has “stuff” nobody has “you”.

Thanks.
