Description
Ben is a member of the LGBTQ+ community and has worked for the same company for 17 years. His manager makes political comments related to LGBTQ+ issues that make him uncomfortable. Previous conversations addressing this have been unsuccessful, and he doesn’t know what to do. What is the most effective way to address a manager who creates an unsupportive work environment by sharing political beliefs? Tessa shares why it’s best to confront the situation head-on instead of going to upper management. She explains how to use “magic phrases” to keep the conversation going and avoid either party feeling cornered:- Is that what you intended?- Do you see it differently?- Is there something I am missing or don’t understand?She also recommends being crystal clear in the conversation by explaining what you expect, what you’ve observed, and asking if this was intended.To be a guest on The JOB Doctor Click HereOrder Tessa's Book "The Unspoken Truths for Career Success: Navigating Pay, Promotions, and Power at Work"
