How many times have you put something off over and over again, and it sits in the back of your mind, weighing a ton and frustrating you because it’s not done, and then when you finally do it, it turns out it wasn’t really that bad?
And then you kick yourself for not having done it sooner?
I am the Queen of this.
I’m also really good at picking when others do it too (one of my Queen powers).
Guess where I notice it most in the workplace?
Coaching conversations.
I see it all the time; managers put off those little chats because we “don’t have time”, and then they turn into big frustrations and even bigger problems.
The longer you leave something, the bigger it becomes, the harder it is to fix.
The hard part to watch is that it all could have been avoided if the manager had made it a priority to have the conversation (and had the skills to do so).
One without the other doesn’t work – you need to make the time AND have the coaching skills.
