Client – in conference room.  Light kept going off.  Motion sensor. Several times during the hour he needed to stand up move away from the table and wave his arms to get it to go back on

 

The Simple Fix For Now……

 

How often are you doing this in your work?  Dealing with the reoccurring issue and jumping to the quickest response vs. stepping back to Fix it for Good.

 

It seems minor – just stand up and wave your arms.  But over the course of weeks, months, years……how much time might this business waste on pausing a meeting, getting sidetracked during an important conversation – possibly losing a train of important thought – relaunching a great discussion

 

How many people have uttered the words “Now, where were we?” in that room.

 

When the simple FOR GOOD FIX is likely to either re-direct the motion sensor, shift the timing of it OR, move the table.

 

The most obvious fix is not necessarily the best.  

 

And we can accommodate small interruptions over and over without acknowledging how the minutes can add up.

 

Where are you re-creating the simple fix for now where you should be looking for the longer term Fix it for Good?

EP 164 – Defend Your Dollars – Learn the 7 Key Causes of Workplace Drama

#3 in a Series  If you haven’t already take a listen to episodes 160 and 162.  You can find them easily by going to DefeatTheDrama.com and clicking on the podcast site.

DAY 3

Are you feeling even more motivated to Defeat Your Team Drama?  Are you feeling lost, like where do I start?

 

No Worries!  In this episode I’m going to share the KEY Causes of Workplace Drama that I’ve seen OVER AND OVER AND OVER in every industry – of ANY Size and Type – Privately Held, Family-Owned, Non-Profit – Small to HUMUNGOUS.  It doesn’t matter. There is a Pattern to what creates Drama in a Team.

 

Today’s List will give you plenty of ideas for where to begin on your quest to Defeat Your Team Drama

I’ve been helping leaders just like you defeat their team drama for more than 15 years.

And, let me just say, I use the term Drama very loosely –

Because to me, when it comes to business, Drama is ANYTHING that shifts focus away from where it needs to be – You need a team laser focused on serving your customer, clients, or patients…….

Why have I made it my mission to help leaders Defeat Drama?  Because passionate entrepreneurs, family businesses, and non-profits have important work to fulfill and too often drama stands in the way.  Drama zaps energy, shifts focus AND WORSE – Costs WAY more money than you know!

1. Drama Outside the Workplace
2. Process Problems
3. Moving Targets/Shifting Goals/Changing Priorities, Processes and
4. Unfocused Time
5. Inconsistency
6. Inadequate Communication
7. People Problems

Tolerating any of the Above

EP 162 – What is Drama Costing Your Business Beyond Dollars? #2 in a Series

 

This is #2 in a series.  If you didn’t already listen, make sure to go to DefeatDrama.com and find episode # 160

So, did you use my simple calculation to learn the minimal amount you are investing in team drama

 

Weekly?  Annually?

 

How does that feel??

I’ve been helping leaders just like you defeat their team drama for more than 15 years.

 

And, let me just say, I use the term Drama very loosely – 

 

Because to me, when it comes to business, Drama is ANYTHING that shifts focus away from where it needs to be – You need a team laser focused on serving your customer, clients, or patients…….

 

Why have I made it my mission to help leaders Defeat Drama?  Because passionate entrepreneurs, family businesses, and non-profits have important work to fulfill and too often drama stands in the way.  Drama zaps energy, shifts focus AND WORSE – Costs WAY more money than you know!

In addition is the personal toll….and if you’re like any of my clients, you are likely feeling the brunt of this personal toll 

The personal toll

 

Frustration

Overwhelm

Burn out

Resignation

 

But let’s dig even deeper into additional costs not factored into our very simple calculation:

These additional business costs are, perhaps, more challenging to calculate but can be huge, probably bigger than the cost of the lost time.

 

Increased liability – if your team isn’t functioning well there’s a higher probability of mistakes that can lead to poor outcomes.  If a client, customer or patient suffers as a result there can be huge costs.  

 

• An injury from a poorly constructed product
• Mis-information that causes a client to take missteps in their business.
• In healthcare a med error or procedural error could cost a life

 

Take a moment to think about your business.  How could employee missteps, miscommunications, lack of focus impact those you serve?

 

So, maybe an issue doesn’t cause damage large enough to create a liability issue but each SERVICE service issue is costly:  There’s the time to TAKE  a Customer/Client/Patient Complaint.  Then there’s the time to design and implement a satisfactory response.  OR….there is no satisfactory response and you lose that customer along with anyone else they tell – PERSONALLY – or on Social Media.

Then there’s the Decrease  in productivity – time overall is used less effectively……

 

How about the Increase in chaos as a team works confused, coping with issues, putting out fires, working against the clock.

 

So…..for today’s Action – I want you to think about what I’ve shared.

 

HERE’s a Simple One scenario – sales team – customer complaint – trying to fix things – 

Drama

 

Time

Frustration

Ongoing bickering
