Episode 13: Difficult Conversations

This week Maddie interviews Karen to talk about conversations. Not just any conversations, but conversations leaders find most challenging. 

They start off by unpacking difficult conversations:

- What are the type of conversations leaders tend to avoid? Is it the same with employees/ team members? 

- What are the type of conversations leaders handle badly? 

- Why are conversations about attitude, behaviour, and performance often the most challenging? 

- How to engage in tough conversations well 

Next up is Mojo in the Dojo.

Karen and Maddie discuss maintaining your mojo when your boss deals with a sensitive issue poorly. 

Last, WTF @ Work. 

WTF @ Work is where we unpack crazy workplace stories.
