@steve_keeley: New team? Skip the vision speech. The first thing to build is a “what sucks list” #leadership #management #newmanager #worktok #careeradvice
most of what sucks is a decision by executive leadership and not something we can control. I still like this idea though

So we spin it as “if you had a magic wand what would you fix”? It keeps the convo a bit more positive and focuses on what can be done.

I was able to incorporate a nicer version of the airing of grievances from the festivus episode of Seinfeld! basically once per quarter for a week, or whenever, people write down ways in which people or other departments negatively affect their department. then we turn those complaints into methods to cross train

Bosses don’t like it when you’re new and actually solve problems within your first month that employees complained about for years. 🤣🤣

okay genuinely amazing. also I just want to add that when I have talked to management about things that suck and it's something that I find out that they genuinely can't change or they can honestly give me an answer as to why the thing has to be done that way then I feel better about it.

in my job, the "what sucks" are almost exclusively all decisions made by the owner that cannot be overturned by anyone but the owner 😭

I worked for a company that had a F*ck It Bucket, where throughout the year employees would write down funny/odd/weird things that happened or were said - by us or customers & put it the bucket (it was a cookie jar). At the end of the year, we’d order pizza and beer and read them out loud. It was so much fun!!

I kind of agree with this, but also most of the what sucks is related to people’s personalities/egos
