Avoiding lose-lose situations
from Your 12 minute HR lesson · host Dr Damian Treanor, Pragmatic HRM
This article examines “lose-lose” situations in workplaces through the lens of tragedy and difficult decision-making. Drawing on Romeo + Juliet, it argues that damaging employment outcomes often arise when people harden their positions and leave no room for compromise. Leaders may not control employee decisions, but they can influence the environment by avoiding pressure, cornering, and forcing impossible choices.
