281 - Mastering Difficult Conversations: Insights on Effective Leadership with Paul Falcone
Manage episode 432882108 series 2555282
As my guest this week will tell you: to avoid a difficult conversation, is to choose the path of least resistance. But when leaders choose the easy way out? Nothing good ever comes from it; only rising frustrations, anxieties, and eventually, resignations.
Luckily for us, Paul Falcone has had every difficult conversation in the book - and he’s written 17 of them! A three-decade career in HR, a stint as a Universal Studios tour guide grappling with grumpy guests, and now a workplace leadership consultant, Paul has learnt to master workplace friction with grace, empathy and a helping of storytelling. The secret? Facilitation, of course!
Find out how to become a more vulnerable, self-aware manager, why we must reframe resistance, and the art of leading with an iron fist and a velvet glove.
Find out about:
- How to approach confrontation with empathy, encouragement and motivation
- Why mindset, skillset and self-care are vital for effective leadership
- How to handle difficult managers through considered, non-violent communication
- The importance of building your front-line leadership muscle
- The ROI of raising your team’s awareness
