Surrendering in the workplace

In today’s episode: The core idea of "Surrender to Lead" sounds touchy-feely, but it has immediate practical applications. Culture Partners CEO Joe Terry tells the story of a time he approached a potentially-antagonistic client conversation with love and understanding. Instantly, the pressure in the room dropped, and the conversation completely turned around. The first step is to stop fighting reality; when we drop the immediate need to be right, we can focus on handling what's actually going on. Ask yourself: "what would I do if I removed all of my self-interest from the equation?" This opens up a variety of possibilities for taking the next right action.
