Is Mediation Right for Your Small Business?

In a small business, unresolved conflict could mean the difference between staying open or closing your doors for good. You may have amazing leadership skills, but it’s not always appropriate for leadership to resolve conflict in the workplace. Sometimes, it’s best to ask for help. — Is Mediation Right for My Small Business? Let’s set the scene: Jennifer opened her own catering business. She hired Morgan, a recent marketing graduate, to manage the marketing for the business. However, they never fully discussed the details of the role and expectations for the work — after all, things move fast on a small team and…

Why Mediation is the Most Powerful Tool for Resolving Conflict

When faced with conflict, the average person is prone to one of a few emotionally-grounded reactions: ignore it and move on, dig in and self-preserve, or decide it’s time to move out from the situation. Why? …

Trust, Tenacity, and Ted Lasso: How to Build and Maintain an Organizational Dream Team

Since it aired in late 2020, Ted Lasso has inspired coaches, CEOs, managers and other leaders to reexamine their management styles. As a career football coach forced to adapt to a new country, team, and sport (and the culture surrounding them), Ted’s fish-out-of-water origin story is certainly an example worth emulating as a leader. But isn’t the true measure of a great coach an even better team? Ted Lasso is an exemplary leader because he actually doesn’t fit the conventional mold of one. Instead, his primary goal is helping others achieve their goals.

The 7 Power Types-originally coined by psychologists John R. P. French and Bertram Raven-remains a useful tool in characterizing 7 distinct forms of power in the workplace.

Should Your Workplace Be “Like a Family”? How to Foster Healthy Working Relationships

Saying you’re a family isn’t really the problem; it’s saying you’re a family then acting the opposite way that creates tension. — To say “we’re a family” in describing a workplace is an understandable impulse. After all, your team ideally does feel a sense of belonging and mutual respect in accomplishing goals — much like a supportive family would. …

How to (Actually) Apologize

In life, at work, and for relationships of any kind, it’s always the same: apologizing is hard. — While many of us apologize habitually for minor reasons (or no reason at all!), genuine apologies come from recognizing a harm that’s been done and working to repair it. That’s where the hard part comes in: an apology requires both parties to be truly vulnerable by addressing fault. Showing vulnerability…

4 Qualities of Truly Great Listeners

Embrace these and get the most out of the discussions you’re having with friends, colleagues, and family. When it comes to communication, you might think in terms of what to say and how to say it. Many people are naturally solution-oriented, so we tend to rush ahead in conversation; to plan and prioritize our personal points first. Think about it: if you’re focused on what you’re going…

5 Ways to Improve Virtual Communication

For many, the transition to working from home has not been a smooth one. A big contributor to the unease? Communicating virtually. — We’ve heard the term, “unprecedented times” so often in recent months that we’re all totally over it, but it is true: even if we’ve experienced a crisis before, we haven’t experienced an event exactly like this, and none of us all have all the answers. Still, our work requires us…

Elevate Your Communication Skills by Understanding Transparency

Most managers and team members alike would agree that transparency fosters healthy, productive work environments. But what does transparency in the workplace actually look like, and how can both sides of any conversation give, receive, and use it productively? — Communicating transparently is easier said than done.
