Don’t Mollycoddle Your People: They’re Paid to do a Job

Episode #166 // Debate is raging about the merits of remote work versus on-site colocation, exposing some real issues for leaders. One of the lighter discussions is on whether people should be allowed to turn their cameras off during Zoom meetings. This has generated some interesting debate in the wake of a research study published recently in the Journal of Applied Psychology.I released an episode a couple of months ago that deals with a few of these types of issues — Ep.154 Return to Work Rules — in which I developed a framework to guide you through the decision-making process. In this episode, I go a little deeper into some of the ways these issues can affect you and your people.I address the Zoom question, in typical “No Bullsh!t” fashion; I give a comprehensive example of what can happen when you let your people take on an air of entitlement; and I give you some rules of thumb for delivering the best outcome for your organization, while still maintaining critical relationships with your people.You're still doing the work your team should own. And you can't see a way to stop.Leadership Beyond the Theory is 9 weeks of practical reps that get you out of the weeds and hand delivery back to your team.Taught by Martin Moore, who ran a multi-billion dollar company before he taught any of this. 3,000+ leaders from 150+ organisations. 99% would recommend.Join the next cohort: https://go.leadershipbeyondthetheory.com/ Hosted on Acast.
