If you are like many businesses, the answer could be - not often enough!
According to the book ‘No Rule Rules’, at Netflix it is tantamount to being disloyal to the company if you fail to speak up when you disagree with a colleague or have feedback that could be helpful. After all, you could help the business—but you are choosing not to. I really love this. It shows a culture of trust, both in the management team and in each other. I often encourage clients to run either an anonymous team survey and/or a 360 survey to find out how their people are really feeling. Sometimes I come up to some very strong resistance in the beginning, usually because they are scared of what they will find out and reluctant to make the changes they know their staff will ask for.

I absolutely love reading and learning new things. Good job really as I have to keep current for my business!
My vote is for a book that's had an incredible impact on my life - The Inside Out Revolution (The Only Thing You Need to Know to Change Your Life Forever) by Michael Neill. Totally life changing stuff! It gave me a completely different perspective on life and helped me to really see how success and happiness can be effortless. I can't recommend it highly enough! What about you? What book has changed your life this year?
Interestingly, a LOT of managers and leaders really struggle to praise their team.
This can often depend on their DISC profile (if you are not sure what this is and manage a team - we REALLY need to talk 😊). D profiles will struggle to praise unless you go way above and beyond their expectations. I profiles will be over the top and possibly even praise you for arriving to work every day. 😉 S profiles will take giving praise seriously and will probably be pretty good at it. C profiles probably won’t think to unless your work is perfectly perfect. It’s your job after all. How good are you at praising? Passive aggressiveness in particular. Team members that are passive aggressive express their discontent in indirect and subtly hostile ways.
❓ Do you recognize any of the behaviors in any of your team members? 1. Agreeing with a request that they don't really want to do and then deliberately failing to follow through. 2. Giving you the silent treatment or one word answers to show they are annoyed. 3. Saying something derogatory followed by 'I was only joking.' 4. Rallies the troop by stirring up trouble. 'It's not really for me to say but...' (and then says 'it' to everyone.🤦🏼♀️) 5. They give you a backhanded compliment - 'I noticed you stayed late last night, I was really surprised.' Who has either a bad habit that you want to break or a good habit that you want to create? Pretty much all of us, I think!
Here are some bad habits you may want to get rid of and some good ones you may need to adopt! Bad habits that you may want to stop since they are likely to be hindering your success: -Flitting from one thing to another
