Leaders face numerous challenges in building effective teams and fostering positive workplace dynamics. This week's episode of The Manager Track podcast addresses these issues with guest Lotus Buckner, an HR leader and author.Ramona and Lotus discuss key topics that often prevent leaders from performing at their best, particularly during difficult times. They examine how to make tough decisions and embrace discomfort in leadership roles. The conversation covers strategies for adapting to hybrid and remote work environments, as well as methods for cultivating relationships and trust across the organization. They also explore ways to enhance communication and the importance of recognizing and addressing core issues rather than surface-level problems.A notable concept introduced is Lotus's idea of "give a sh*t leadership" - being intentional and genuinely caring about tailoring experiences for team members. This approach can help leaders build trust, improve workplace dynamics, and create successful organizations.For those aiming to refine their leadership skills and cultivate a more positive work environment, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.Check it out HERE.Watch it on YouTube HERE.— RESOURCES MENTIONED —- Lotus's Website: Talent Remix- Lotus's New Book: The Joy of HR: Elevating HR's Role as a Trusted Partner- Connect with Lotus on LinkedIn HERE.- Learn how to turn your 1-on-1 meetings from time wasters, awkward moments, status updates, or non-existent into your most important and valuable meeting with your directs all week.
