What you can do about it
Problems Take Energy
“Were exhausted because were having conversations that shouldn’t happen.” - Cy Wakeman
This truth bomb was for a room full of HR executives. I resonated and believe you and any other leader who cares about people will relate. The workplace will have problems and conflict, leaders and high accountable people understand this and use their energy and the energy of other’s intentionally.
Or reverse that and managing your energy and the energy of others effectively is what makes high accountable employees and effective leaders.
Okay so how do you do that?
Russian Nesting Dolls
Reframe YOUR workplace problems like a Russian Nesting Doll. The first is what gets most of your attention and energy. Go deeper and you discover the source of your problems.
Peer Conflict (Me v You)
Role Conflict (Me v Job)
Self Conflict (Me v Me)
Peer Conflict is on the surface, when two or more people not working effectively and gets most if not all your focus and energy.
Role Conflict is someone is failing to do their job, set up to fail or responsibilities are unclear to others, which is why peers conflict.
Self Conflict is someone’s personal values do not align with the role and that friction is feeds role conflict, and everything else!
You can see how what you think is your and anyone else’s problem is actually deeper than we think, and often ready to take on.
So what can you do to get your energy back?
