As a manager you need to be able to advocate for yourself and your team. You may find yourself wanting to draw your sword and storm the castle, but you need to control your reaction. The passion and emotion you’re feeling is admirable, but you can’t let your emotions get the best of you or you’ll be met with more resistance. On the flipside, not taking a stand could be more harmful. Sometimes fear of rocking the boat, creating enemies, or making the situation worse keeps us from doing what’s right and committing to the issue. In this program we’ll discuss the most effective way to take a stand for yourself and your team. We’ll go over how to analyze the situation, gather the facts, defend appropriately, and when to let it go.
