Sunday Mar 14, 2021
Reach out to our team... https://timeto.takenewground.com/

How To Manage Your Manager
Sunday Mar 07, 2021
Sunday Mar 07, 2021
https://timeto.takenewground.com/
You will learn about:
- Most common complaints about managers
- Answering the challenge of your career
- What a racket is and why it matters
- How to approach a leader or manager with a problem or an idea
- Attack the problem, not the people facing the problem with you
Show Notes:
Most people think about leadership in hierarchical formation. That leadership happens at the top and works its way downward.
We say that leadership actually occurs horizontally. Everyone in the organization will lead at one time or another. Often managing up can be a difficult and touchy thing to engage. And it is vital for the health of any organization in production and innovation.

Criticism vs Feedback

Sunday Feb 28, 2021
You will learn about:

- How to approach a difficult conversation
- Issues with objectivity
- Listening to what the other person as to say
- Sharing a vision for the future with your team/leader
Show Notes:
Criticism and feedback are valuable components when approached gracefully and with intention. However, most of us have trouble stepping into that position, preferring to sideline and tiptoe around problems for the sake of maintaining peace or just being nice.
We share useful tips on how to employ criticism and feedback as a harmonious tool that works towards a shared vision, instead of against it.
Turns out, the truth doesn’t always have to hurt!
