Molly McGrath: Fix My Employee! No, Fix My Boss!
Manage episode 454784833 series 2868844
No matter what side of the aisle you fall on - employee or leader - you may have uttered these words, "Why can't I just fix them?!" Building strong relationships either way is both an employee AND a leader responsibility because empathy must flow both ways.
Today, I talk with Molly McGrath. She reveals some biases that leaders can break free from to be more effective, how to merge the perspectives of boss and employees to better understand each other, and you'll love her actionable tips and examples on how you can initiate healthy communication, build trust, and create a more positive and high-performing environment with less drama and more impact. We also talk about the importance of re-dating and re-committing with your employees on a regular basis!

Key Takeaways:
- If we’re only hiring to the résumé, we are going to be missing out on a lot of the people skills that aren’t written down.
- Self-awareness and self-care are two of the key pillars of empathetic leadership. We have to get our own house in order to understand our blind spots, triggers, and strengths, and know what we're bringing into the conversation.
- The work of leading is spending time with your people. You need to understand how each of your team are hardwired.
"You have to re-date your employees and re-enroll (your employees) every single day." — Molly McGrath
