Have you ever put off having an important conversation with one of your staff because you fear what could go wrong? You work through all the scenarios in your mind and convince yourself that you’re going to make things worse if you speak to them about an issue.
And it keeps you stuck. And frustrated. And feeling out of control.
Well, that sort of thing happens to me too. I find myself struggling to solve a problem. And I’m 100% certain that I know what I need to do. But I just keep avoiding the potential conflict.
And when the issue doesn’t go away, I assume that I just need to get over it. And when that doesn’t work, I assume that it’s impossible. Or that I haven’t got what it takes.
And then I discover a new piece of information. And I immediately see where I’ve been going wrong. And the impossible problem that I’ve been struggling with for months is suddenly and easily solved.
Perhaps you’ve been struggling for years to manage someone’s performance?
You think you know what you need to do, but no matter how hard you try, it just doesn’t improve. So, you assume that it’s just not possible for them to improve. Or that you’re lacking the skills or personality to influence them.
You’ve tried and failed so many times, that it feels totally hopeless. And you feel forced to accept that things will never get better. That this is as good as it gets.
• But what if that isn’t true?
• What if it isn’t impossible?
• What if the truth is that you’re missing a small piece of information?
• And when you have it, you will know to stop avoiding that conversation.
• And the progress you believed was impossible is suddenly happening.
• And your work life begins to change almost immediately!
