What are your People Problems?

Do you ever have problems with the people you work with? Maybe they’re little ones that you just sweep under the rug. Or maybe they’re big problems that cause tension and conflict on a daily basis. Regardless of size, if you have people problems at work, you’re not alone.

My team and I have worked with leaders and teams at more than 200 organizations in 48 different industries. And even though each organization is unique, all of them had one thing in common: people problems. 

Because if people work together, there are going to be problems. People disagree. They have different styles. People are uncertain of priorities or expectations. They blow off the handle or just shut down during meetings. People get frustrated and don’t know what to say. They feel stuck and don’t know what to do.

Can you relate? I’m guessing you could add to this list.

Are you Adapting or Reimagining?

By Jill Mueller

Let’s get the clichés out of the way:

  • We’re all in this together.
  • These are unprecedented times.
  • We are navigating a new normal. 
  • We have to make do and adapt.

I don’t know about you, but all of this adaptation is exhausting. It’s also limiting.

Three Steps to Help You Overcome Any People Problem

 

Last week we discussed the Thoughtfully Fit core, which is the source of your power. It’s all about control and choice. Whatever obstacles come your way, engaging your core – focusing on what you control and what choices you have – can help you respond in an intentional and thoughtful way. 

This week we are going to explore the three steps necessary to engage your core: Pause. Think. Act. These steps are especially helpful when you are experiencing people problems. You know, when you are frustrated with a coworker, or maybe you’re not communicating well with your team and conflict is increasing. Those problems that get in the way of you doing your job and focusing on what you do best.  

Let’s take a look at each step.

Try Questions as your Answer

One day when my youngest was about eight, she came running down the stairs and exclaimed, “Mom! I just remembered that I forgot to tell you I need gold tights for my dance recital on Saturday!” As you might guess, it was Wednesday night.

Now I admit there was a time when I would have immediately sprung into action mode, put down the book I was reading, and frantically raced around town trying to find gold tights. There would’ve been grumblings about why she waited so long to tell me. Maybe even a frustrated email to the dance teacher questioning why she didn’t let me know about the need for tights instead of relying on my eight-year old to tell me.

However, thankfully, taking a coach approach had become my default by this point. So instead of flying into fix it mode, I glanced up from my book, looked my daughter in the eye and said, “Oh gosh, that sounds like quite a dilemma. What are you going to do?” And then I took a sip of my coffee.
