Description

When something goes wrong on your team, it can be easy to feel like you're unlucky. But the truth is, this is a perspective, and it's one that we can reframe. 
In this episode I talk about how to reframe your perspective from unlucky to one of possibility and potential, and then apply this to three common "unlucky" situations that happen to managers on teams, including:
(1) Inheriting a low performing team member(2) Losing a headcount or budget for a key hire(3) One of your start players leaves the team
By the end of the episode, you will have a new perspective for facing each of these situations, leaving both you and your team in a better place. 
And if you want more support in avoiding unlucky situations, my Ops Playbook program is for you. Reach out at hello@liagarvin.com to get support mapping out "how" work gets done on your team so you can stay in your zone of genius and be setup for success to grow and scale.
