38: [Coaching] Leading Through a Hostile Take-Over
Subscribe to the Podcast!
Unexpected change can be stressful on any team, when you work for a company that has experienced a hostile takeover, a shakeup of team members and the addition of new systems and procedures, well that stress moves over for feelings of uncertainty, fear, and anger.
My guest today, Carla Crumpton, is a team leader dealing with this very situation. She comes to the show for an on-air coaching call to get my help with some issues that have cropped up with her team, in particular around reactions, communication, and cohesion, as is expressed by the conflict-personality style that some of her employees are having.
This call with Carla is just a small glimpse at the process and it is not the whole story by far. This is just a peek behind the scenes so that you can gain some value and glean some actionable steps for yourself. I love being able to dive deep with someone to help them gain clarity, a clear path forward with next steps and an action plan laid out to gain freedom from the stress of tension or a potential conflict.
