Is it possible to disagree respectfully with someone who is more senior than you at work? This is a common #communication challenge among Spoken with Authority clients. Our Coach Michele Morrissey, M.A., CCC-SLP recently shared this useful piece on the topic with a coaching client: https://lnkd.in/e3FKgFWs Here's a great summary of the article (direct quotation): "Do: - Explain that you have a different opinion and ask if you can voice it. - Restate the original point of view or decision so it’s clear you understand it. - Speak slowly — talking in an even tone calms you and the other person down. Don’t: - Assume that disagreeing is going to damage your relationship or career — the consequences are often less dramatic than we think. - State your opinions as facts; simply express your point of view and be open to dialogue. - Use judgment words, such as “hasty,” “foolish,” or “wrong,” that might upset or incite your counterpart." Have you tried any of these strategies or do have you had success with other approaches? Please share in comments.

🌟 Leading with Alignment: Tackling Personal Agendas in the Workplace 🌟 As senior leaders, one of the challenges we face is ensuring that individual goals harmoniously align with our organization's objectives. The concern that team members may pursue personal agendas can disrupt this harmony and impact collective outcomes. 📘 Educate: Regular training sessions on company values and the broader impact of collective success can realign individual efforts with organizational goals. 💪 Empower: Foster an environment where employees feel their personal growth and success are integral to the company's success. This helps mitigate the pursuit of conflicting personal agendas. 🏃‍♂️ Take Action: Implement transparent systems for tracking contributions and ensure recognition aligns with team-oriented behavior and results. 📈 Are you ready to enhance alignment in your team?

My answer to the question, "How Can Executives Foster a Strong Organizational Culture?" is: Create a Distinctive Shared Identity Executives are pivotal in shaping a robust organizational culture by cultivating a distinctive leadership lexicon within their teams. This language articulates desired and undesired behaviors uniquely tailored to the organization's ethos. For example, some organizations characterize these behaviors as 'creative' or 'reactive,' while others describe them as 'above-the-line' or 'below-the-line.' Notably, one company employs the terms 'backhand' for weak behaviors and 'forehand' for strong ones. Likewise, the adoption of evocative nicknames, such as Googlers, Amazonians, Metamates, Chimers, Dashers, or Palantirians, encapsulates a shared identity indicative of the desired culture. By naming identity and behaviors, we generate a stronger sense of belonging, individually and collectively, that strengthens the organizational culture. https://lnkd.in/gufYXYQ3 #leadership #organizationalculture #leadershipbehaviors
