   Adapt the Work Environment

   I often talk about the ability to adjust the environment as a key skill for leaders… and by this I mean small L leaders, not just those who have a formal position. When you can adjust the environment, you can make work and collaboration more effective.. without waiting for someone who has power to act or give permission.

In this episode, I’m going to break down what I mean about environment and give you some examples of how small changes made a big difference.

   Voice

   It is not always easy to speak up in organizations. People may think twice before brining up ideas, issues, risks, concerns. They may wonder, Will the boss take it the wrong way? Will I get picked to pieces in public? Does the manager only listen to senior people? If the answer to any of those questions is “Yes,” the organization is going to miss out on useful information.

In this podcast, I discuss the importance of voice and three things that you can do—form a position of formal or informal power—to make it easier for people to speak up.

   Change and Churn

   When leaders decided to make a change, they hope it will improve performance. But, while it may do so, there’s almost always a dip. Maybe a small dip, but sometimes a large one. When that happens, the first impulse is to make another change. And then you’ve got churn.
