When Everyone Wins with Judy Ryan: Shifting Power-Over & Under to Power Within & Between: How to Create a Loyal, Caring & Collaborative Workforce, with guest Jay Colker

When leaders and their staff are misaligned, work satisfaction diminishes, and business results suffer. This is the reality in many organizations today. Despite their best efforts, people at all levels and in every role often dig in their heels, resist, and feel helpless to address frustrations. Quality and commitment suffer with some people disengaging partially or even participating in sabotaging behaviors. Top talent may leave and diminished trust and morale lead to losses in innovation and the ability to address growing complexity and the accelerating speed of change. The opportunity costs are significant. The loss of key knowledge about the business can cause customer relationships to suffer and staff to be at odds. Leaders and employees can avoid all these pitfalls by becoming realigned and co-creating a healthy workplace culture where loyalty and caring collaboration become the norm.

What we will discuss in this interview may include: 

1. What are some beliefs you hold about people and their use of power from the psychology of Alfred Adler
2. What are the risks for using authoritarian, controlling and micromanaging practices in workplaces?
3. Will you share some powerful turn-around stories of applying Adlerian principles in organizations?
4. How do you address resistance to change?
5. How do you help leaders see the value of investing in development of people and healthy culture practices?
