**To our dear listeners, Please excuse some of our noise blunders due to technical difficulties in this episode. The content was just too good not to share it with you!**

Organizational silence can be detrimental to an organization's success. Some may assume employee silence means everything is running smoothly. However, culture, morale, creativity, and innovation are negatively impacted in organizations that are not encouraging employees to share their feedback. In this podcast, we discuss organizational culture, causes of workplace silence, signs of a culture of silence, and propose key strategies for shaping cultures of voice.

IH015 | Joe Cox | Management Macro Skills Jul 27, 2017

Show notes

Verifiable evidence of managers' impact on their department's productivity and contribution to profit derives from frequent, qualitative use of two macro skills - Leadership and Nurturing. Leadership satisfies intrinsic motivators while nurturing satisfies extrinsic motivators. Employees positively reciprocate when their needs are being met. That's engagement! Managers' needs usually differ from employees' needs. In some cases, this discrepancy leads to insensitivity in manager and employee interactions. So, what's the solution? That's the focus of this podcast where we discuss the need to measure satisfaction, provide feedback, develop management macro skills, and assign accountability; and how all of this can generate profit from lower payroll costs.

IH012 | Michael O'Brien | Building A Trusting Tribe Through Conversations Jun 15, 2017

Show notes

One could say, conversations are like air, no one needs to tell you how breathe – and no one really has to tell us how to engage in conversations, right? It's mainly talking, a little bit of listening (lol). But in fact, conversations are critical to building all of our relationships. In this episode Michael will enlighten us about not only the importance of effective conversations, but how we can build trust and therefor stronger relationships, by having better-quality conversations.
