Rowers plus Watchers plus Grumblers: What to Do About Them

Visual Workplace Radio: Let the Workplace Speak - A podcast by Gwendolyn D. Galsworth, Ph.D.

Categories:

Do we really have to like all the people all the time—especially if “some people” are not cooperating with our very important improvement agenda? Can’t we just make them? Or are we forced, in today’s PC-zealous world, to “show respect” for the individual—even when some are clearly indifferent to the corporate intent and others actively push back? Join us this week as your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, shares her take on this tricky scenario. Listen as she shares The Parable of the Rowers. Learn what she advises: Don’t cave in and sacrifice your improvement vision—and don’t push your agenda strenuously. Learn instead the telling difference between inertia and resistance—and how to handle both. Keep your eye on the main event: getting visual improvement going and growing in the company. To do so, you may have to learn a new and very different way: allowing, even encouraging, people to be themselves, without fear of penalty. Tune in/Learn more. Let the workplace speak!
