webinar details
Let’s get one thing straight off the top. “I need to f*ing talk to you”, is a bad way to start any conversation, let alone one with a co-worker. Unfortunately, too many leaders have started conversations this way. Usually, it’s because some issue has been festering for weeks or months and it has finally reached the point where we can’t stand it anymore.
Many leaders avoid having these conversations at work and as a result:
individual and team performance levels drop
customers and clients become dissatisfied
team morale plummets
confidence in leadership is eroded
Most leaders confess that they aren't comfortable having these conversations because they don't get enough practice doing it. So, instead of losing your cool, let's practice early proactive intervention.
In this webinar, Ken and Russell share why you should tackle difficult conversations early, take you through the B.E.E.F model and help you understand why you should prepare and practice before difficult conversations. You’ll get to see an example of a difficult conversation with and without the B.E.E.F model.
