With even award-winning organizations coming up short in terms of employee happiness, is it possible that everything we think we know about leadership is way off base?   What makes the difference between a good working environment and a GREAT one? What can leaders do to create a better atmosphere, and how can employees play a role in effecting positive changes?    In this episode, CEO of Veritas Leadership Research & Consulting, Dr Steve Merrill shares the 4 pillars that need to be implemented in ANY business to ensure maximum results.  "The relationship of being able to speak up, knowing you won’t be whacked by your boss for asking a question, is so important. That’s what helps people stay in an organization longer." -Dr Steve Merrill   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode    How to lead effectively without getting mad at everything It can get frustrating when our teams make a mistake, but getting angry isn’t likely to solve anything. What should we be doing instead and what’s likely to happen when we make that shift?   The TRUE meaning of compassion in a business sense Does compassion mean avoiding hurting people’s feelings at all cost, or could giving our teams a reality check be the kindest action?   How to stop letting our egos run our organizations As leaders, we tend to think we need to have all the answers, but could that be doing more harm than good?    Why we need to re-think trust and micromanagement If you're doing your employee’s jobs, who’s doing the CEO job?   Guest Bio-    Dr Steve Merrill is the CEO and Owner of Veritas Leadership Research & Consulting.
