When ‘authentic self’ is used to justify bad behaviour in teams
About this episode
Emma and Corina are on a mission to stop bad work stories. Work need not be a place of drama and suffering. It can be a place of joyful collaboration and growth for all.
We take everyday situations and apply practical and kind strategies to improve them.
You take what resonates with you for your leadership and facilitation toolkit.
In this episode, we explore the use of ‘authentic self” as a justification for bad behaviour in teams - dominating discussions, speaking on behalf of others, inappropriate banter and emotional downloads. How to overcome this and head for the high ground of being your best to serve the team purpose.
Points covered:
- Teams are a WE, not ME
- Speak from the I - your views not speaking for others
- The collateral damage potential of the ‘authentic’ self
- The importance of bringing your best self to power your team purpose.
Thank you for joining us today.
