Tammy Tansley - Can we be the L word at work?

What happens when a difficult situation at work gets avoided, passed around, or quietly buried? Tam Callaghan sits down with executive coach, mediator and author Tammy Tansley to talk about one of the most common and costly patterns in workplaces: the failure to address problems early.  Tammy has spent decades being called in after things have already gone wrong. In this conversation, she and Tam get into why delay makes everything harder, what psychosocial safety actually looks like in practice, and why some of the people causing the most damage in organisations genuinely don't know they're doing it.  They also cover neurodiversity and misinterpretation, the gap between workplace rhetoric and reality, what good early intervention looks like, and two practical rules that can make a real difference even if a full culture change feels out of reach.  Honest, experienced, and genuinely useful for anyone who manages people or works in an organisation.    In this episode:  Why wrapping a difficult employee in a bow and passing them on never works  The real cost of heartless leadership  Psychosocial safety vs. the bottom line  Long-term trauma from unaddressed workplace problems  Why the 24-48 hour rule changes everything  Tiny steps that actually move things forward    Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast   Join the conversation!
