Why You HAVE to Play Favorites at Work
Manage episode 311071141 series 3082332
A conventional leadership wisdom out there is that you CANNOT play favorites at work. However, did you know that the same leadership will not please a high-accountable mindset and low-accountable at the same time? This creates an interesting consideration we go into on this podcast.
Many organizations haven't come around to the fact that they have some employees that default to a lower state-of-accountability each day. This is more of a victim-mindset where they believe that most of their mistakes or issues are not their fault and they cannot have much of an impact.
However, in the same organization and same circumstances, there is another group of high-accountables that are successful and happy in the same situation.
Both of these groups also have completely different lists of behaviors, conversations and standards of excellence they like to work in.
High-accountables get nervous when change is NOT happening and low-accountables get anxious when change IS happening. High-accountables are aware the the world is always shifting and customer demands are always changing so, of course, they see that the business should be too.
Low-accountables seem to want to keep things the same even though it may hurt the experience for our customers, patients or those we serve in the marketplace.
I go through many examples and ideas of this "playing favorites" in this podcast. I also discuss why you actually HAVE to differentiate (for the right reasons) to be an effective leader and I give you some of our best tools to do so.
So if you are someone wondering:
- How to lead better
- Can I play favorites at work?
- Best leadership tips to reward my top performers
- What tips to manage accounability
Then this is a great episode for you.
Also, here is a front-row seat to one of my latest keynotes if you want to see me in action. I'd love to be on the list if you are ever looking for speakers for your organization in the future. Let's get this message to your teams!
If you have any feedback or questions let's continue the discussion at any of the places below:

Hope this one gave you a lot to think about. Let's keep ditching the drama. - Alex
