Say It Skillfully™ - psychological safety, how do I handle egos in the room...

Say It Skillfully™ gives you Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. Episode 6 started with techniques to help leaders create safe space and handle egos in the room. Brian shared his journey in leading his company, from being not so aware of how he was coming across to empowering his team to tell it how it is and become more skillful themselves (5:30). Gary, in a highly metric-driven environment, called in for a robust conversation on conveying disappointing results, setting expectations upfront, and ending a client relationship you want to move on from (26:30). Engendering greater accountability was on Michael’s mind–in an inspiring, not authoritative way (37:30). And Vandana observed mentoring where the mentors aren’t exactly best serving mentees and inquired how to turn this around? Lastly, Molly responded to an inquiry from Daniel on how to “brag tactfully” and ensure due credit is given (47:30)!
