In my role as an executive coach, I’m used to being the one who asks the questions. I’ve often said that one of the biggest things I do as a coach is give my clients the space to think out loud. Asking the right questions is a great way to create that space.

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.

If it still doesn’t go away, apply a stronger steroid cream—that will “fix it.” When a child is crying, give him or her a pacifier or a treat to quiet him down.
