Power Play - The Power of Silence

The People Powered Business Podcast ·

2023/09/09

Silence can be bliss can’t it? But when in a meeting with a staff member, especially one that involves a difficult conversation, silence can feel like torture.It’s uncomfortable for us as the leader, and we worry (probably more than we should), that’s it’s also uncomfortable for the team member.The truth is, silence is essential to facilitating an effective discussion, and when we don’t allowspace for it, we are almost certainly sabotaging the success of the conversation.When we become uncomfortable

Hello and welcome to Episode 182 of the People Powered Business Podcast.Today we’re talking ‘team meetings’. We all know we need to have them right? Yet so often they feel like a waste of time, or like many members of People Powered HR recently said, they are sick of hearing their own voice in team meetings and wished their teams would participate and engage.So how can we hold meetings that matter, that have impact, that people participate and engage in, and that aren’t all about us just talking?To

Ok, I’m going to be honest here, I didn’t love being the boss in my own business for a long time.I had held leadership positions in other businesses and loved it, but when it came to my business, especially as my team grew, I really started to not love it. Some days I would want to (and probably did), just shut my office door!!!What I know now is that I’d hit a growing pains point, I was juggling too much, and was burnt out.But I see lots of business owners who don’t hit this point yet really don’t

When you got into business I bet you didn’t put too much thought to the fact you’d need to hire and lead people one day soon.Most business owners I know certainly didn’t get into business for the love of learning about HR compliance, employment rules, payroll and all the technical stuff – but you figure it out right?Like everything else in business, you fumble your way through, do a course here and there, research, learn, get help and you get through it.But is that technical stuff really the hardest

Power Play - Do Your People Like You or Respect You?

The People Powered Business Podcast ·

2023/08/05

Does your team like you or respect you?What's your response when you hear that question? Aren't the two the same?Of course we want our team to like is. Human nature dictates that we want to be liked, so it makes sense that we want our team to like us -but do we put as much thought into ensuring they respect us?So what’s the difference between being like and respected? The difference lies in how they react and respond to us as a leader – it’s in the perception they hold.Being liked = being popular

If I had a dollar for every time a business owner said they wanted to hire someone ‘just like them’ I’d be rich!It always reminds me of the line from the Gin Blossoms song, Hey Jealousy which says “if you don’t expect too much from me, you might not be let down".Expecting our team to be just like us is expecting too much. And when our expectations are inflated, we feel frustrated and resentful, and we blame our team, but is it really their fault, or is it our misguided expectations that are to

2023/07/08

As business owners and leaders we all stress out when someone leaves our business – we think we've failed, we ask what could we have done differently and how can we keep them?The reality is sometimes turnover is a good thing, a healthy thing and actually good for business.Perhaps the person has outgrown the role – and staying would hold them back and they’d become stale and resentful. Maybe it’s just time – they are no longer keen to be here and that’s ok.Our team also go through phases and stages
