6 rules to change hearts re. George Floyd & protests. (Starts 01:16)
The George Floyd murder, the riots, the protests, and race in this country will be a workplace topic as everyone comes back to work. Here are my 6 rules to change hearts and minds and communicate properly.
- Don’t try to trap people.
- Assume pure intentions.
- Don’t shame.
- If you don’t know something, say “I don’t know”
- Don’t put additional roadblocks for others to understand.
- Most importantly, THANK people for hearing you out and listening.
Francesca Gino on Rebel Talent (Starts at 08:33)
Harvard Business School professor and author of Rebel Talent, Francesca Gino joined me to discuss the impact rebels have on the workplace.
I ask:
- How are rebels supposed to convince anyone to work with them when they look like chaos agents?
- Most see rebels as not trusting of others, power-hungry, and lone wolves. But is that reality?
- Is there any hope for rebels and top performers to get through HR or get hired?
- Speaking as a rebel, do rebels walk a really lonely work path?
- Do rebels naturally disrupt the organizational pecking order, and does that make leaders uncomfortable?
