Every employee is expected to be engaged, highly focused and contribute positively to the business organisation.
In order to achieve this, leaders and managers need to create an environment where even the most uncomfortable conversations are tackled.
In this episode we discuss business conversations that matter with Andrea Newton of Confident Conversations. She shares her insights on the importance of being in an organisation where people can say what they want but it should be partnered with compassion, curiosity and positive intent.
Other than focusing on conversations that confront organisational issues and behaviour, managers should also address dialogues that nurture connections and teamwork.
