We had a respectful and open conversation about our needs and agreed on what each party needed to change. From there on the collaboration changed completely – not to perfect – but to very good. I am still grateful that they decided to trust me and be open about how they saw the situation!

Very few of us wake up in the morning with the goal of making someone else’s day more difficult. On the other hand, I doubt many of us wake up with the goal of making someone else’s day great. My guess is most of us wake up with the goal of taking care of whatever is on the to-do list for the day and then get on with our business. That’s kind of a shame because that extra intention of making someone else’s day great is a force multiplier.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.
