Is the Client Really Always Right?

By Dr. Lisa Aldisert

The adage “the client is always right” does not carry the heft that it used to…but it still bears the same kind of angst when deciding how to handle delicate or difficult situations involving our employees.

I’ve had clients who are militantly defensive of their clients, even if it’s to the detriment of a solid performing employee. And there are others who passionately support their people to the irritation of a disgruntled client.

There is no “rule” on how to handle this. And because one size doesn’t fit all, it means that you need to consider the circumstances in each situation before taking action.

5 Steps to Build a Culture of Ideation

By Dr. Evans Baiya

You could be missing out on $1,237 per employee in untapped ideas.

A Method to Uncover What You Want

By Jalene Case

What do you want? This question is simple on the surface but the answers to it can sculpt your life, define your goals, and bring a myriad of emotions from frustration to fulfillment. By declaring what you want, you’re also deciding what you don’t want, and drawing a blueprint from which to build your goals.

Two Ways to Increase Self-Awareness

By Ron Price

I’ve worked with so many leaders over the years that when we talk about self-awareness, I’ve heard it again and again: I don’t really know who I am. I don’t know why I am where I’m at, or how I got here.

We have to retrace what caused their decisions about what they studied in school, what their first job was, what roles they accepted. More often than not, they are based on outside influences rather than an intense, deep understanding of who they are. They spend decades realizing that they don’t know who they are, and they still don’t know how to get there!

Ron Price, HR.com, May 2021

Eight out of 10 American adults have it—you’ve probably caught it. It’s costing you in more ways than you know. In fact, it is estimated to be costing employers an average of $13,400 per employee per year. What is it? Covid-19 Stress!

The American Psychological Association reports that the mental health consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic have created record-high levels of stress in almost 80% of all adults. At work, this is creating hidden costs through increased turnover, absenteeism, disengagement, unhappiness, loss of innovation, decreased resilience and inability to focus.
