#10: The Difference Between "Calling Up" and "Calling Out"

All of us have motives and an intent for what we do. The most liberating and productive leaders fight for the highest possible good of those they lead and their intent is to be "for" the people they lead, rather than for themselves or against people. On this podcast, Kim and Fritz discuss how to "call people up" not just "call people out." Most of us have been "called out" in our lives and it usually doesn't produce a healthy response. It makes you feel like the person calling you out is either against you or just "for themselves". We tend to call people out when when we're frustrated, stressed, or tired, and it leads to conflict, drama, domination, disempowerment, and stifled growth. While that dominating style of management may create a small short term spike in productivity as people respond in fear, it typically undermines the long-term performance and culture of the team significantly. But to "call people up" into their full potential communicates that you are "for" that person. It leads to greater collaboration, liberation, and helps us maximize the strengths and ability of each member on the team. For more information, visit www.RewiredDynamics.com.
