Ep147 Performance Conversations, with Bruce Sullivan

Manage Self, Lead Others: Emotional Intelligence and Leadership for Managers

Bruce has a unique approach to handling performance conversations to foster accountability. His method is a game-changer for addressing behaviour with a less than positive impact on building a positive workplace culture.

An eye-opening moment? Bruce's perspective on "avoiding conflict leads to resentment." This hit home, especially with a personal story shared about an office restructure to avoid a difficult conversation.

But it's not all about challenges - we also explored the power of gratitude in leadership.

The discussion on the "paradox of generosity" was truly enlightening and has already changed how I approach my team interactions.

Key takeaways that left me inspired:

• The magic of being "more curious, less critical" 🧠

• Practical tips for addressing workplace behaviour effectively

• Strategies to combat cynicism and reframe negative mindsets
