How to Figure Out What’s Really Behind a Performance Problem

mardi 13 octobre 2026 • Durée 07:10

It's 4:47 on Thursday, the report still isn't in, and the story forming in your head is that they just don't care. But that story is usually wrong, and it's also the easiest one to tell because it means you don't have to look at anything you did. This episode gives you a three-question framework, person, process, promise, to find where a performance problem actually lives before you walk into a feedback conversation assuming the worst.

Conversation Topics

(00:00) Introduction: Why "They Just Don't Care" Is Usually the Wrong Story
(01:33) The Three Places a Performance Problem Can Live: Person, Process, Promise
(04:15) Why Managers Default to Blaming the Person
(05:15) The Right Order to Diagnose the Problem: Promise, Process, Person
(08:15) Turning Accusations Into Questions That Uncover the Truth
(10:30) Your Action Step and Final Takeaway

428: How Grateful Leaders Build Teams No One Wants to Leave with TJ Sweet

427: The Meeting Portfolio Every Manager Needs

mardi 29 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:14

Planning an agenda feels like it takes forever, so too often, we skip it or do it poorly at the last minute. But that’s often because we treat each meeting like we’re starting from scratch. Instead, what if you perfected your weekly team meeting, brainstorm session or any other type of meeting you hold regularly and then just used that same agenda structure again so meeting prep becomes fast and easy? That’s called creating a meeting portfolio. This episode breaks down exactly how to design a meeting once, so it works every single time you use it.

Conversation Topics

(00:00) Introduction: The Hidden Cost of Winging Your Meetings

mardi 15 septembre 2026 • Durée 08:59

Most AI tools promise to make you more productive, but few actually remove the friction hiding in your daily grind.

424: How to Manage Up, Down, and Across with Kristen Harcourt

423: How AI Can Help Us Show Meaningful Appreciation (And Be More Human at Work)

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 06:40

Most of us have an instinctual positive response to great work.“This is amazing, thank you so much.” It feels warm and authentic, but could have been said about anyone or any work. The lack of specificity means those words are cheap and the positive impact they make is short-lived. Here's how to show authentic appreciation, using AI as a thinking partner (not a ghost writer) to pinpoint exactly what you appreciate so you can convey a truly meaningful message of thanks.

Conversation Topics

(00:00) Introduction: A Team Member's Effort and My Weak “Great Job”
(00:34) Welcome to the Show, Plus a Confession
(01:23) The Real Cost of Vague Appreciation
