EPISODE 7 - ”Talking About Trust @ Work”

Welcome to The Leadership Living Room! Grab a seat and listen in...

 

"It's Not Personal, It's Just Business."

Many of us have heard this phrase uttered at work as a means of dismissing the tough messages or bad behavior that proceeded it. It is often used by someone who thinks what happened should not be taken personally. However, if you have ever been on the receiving end of a "just business" message you know that it is impossible - it usually feels deeply personal because our brains are not capable of distinguishing what happens to us at work from what happens to us as a person. Your trust in that human being or that organization will be damaged during the exchange and you will become guarded when interacting with them in the future.

 

WHO IS JOINING US FOR THIS CONVERSATION?

On this episode, we discuss the impact of TRUST withdrawals on our performance at work. Joining us in The Leadership Living Room is John Kompa. John is a highly effective leader who has spent much of his professional life leading teams. When we met him, he was at an uncomfortable moment in his career -- his team was struggling and people above him were getting involved. We are going to talk about how he navigated that situation and how we worked with him to successfully manage team dynamics, build trust, and heal their relationships. This is a relatable story we hope many team leaders will take the time to listen to.
