There are a lot of personality type theories and assessments out there, but short of having all of your employees do the work of discovering their types in the same platform, learning Behavior Styles might be the most direct way for managers and leaders to begin to understand people.

Ever wonder what motivates your employees (or you!) to show up physically and mentally to work day-after-day? Of course we all want and need to pay the bills, but research consistently shows that we thrive the most when we have a sense of purpose and when we feel like we're making progress.

"People spend way too much time in crappy meetings. They suck your soul and they discourage you." In this episode of Managing with Mind and Heart, Ethan and Mike Nash discuss the importance of a less glamorous yet essential part of the workplace: meeting agendas. As a follow-up to the recent episode on how to wrap up meetings with clarity and closure, this episode focuses on what happens before the meeting ends. From starting with a check-in and icebreaker to giving participants space to raise their own concerns, they walk through each step of building a thoughtful and effective meeting agenda. Whether you're leading the meeting or simply participating, understanding the flow and purpose of an agenda can make a big difference. Tune in to learn how to make your meetings more organized, efficient, and engaging. https://lnkd.in/gWpnerWP #ManagerTips #EffectiveMeetings #HealthyWorkCultures

Drawing inspiration from the book Scaling People: Tactics for Management and Company Building by Claire Hughes Johnson, Ethan Nash introduces the hypothesis-based coaching approach, which turns potential criticism into open dialogue.

Tune in to discover how to navigate these tricky conversations with confidence. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gPzQ-W6y #ManagementTips #Coaching #HealthyWorkCulture
