Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

I put this question to career coach Ed Samuel, business adviser Stewart Wiggins and IT Professional Atif Agha.
Our conversation came back to one core principle: It’s all about leadership.
Specifically the cultural priorities set by an organization’s leadership. They might retain toxic managers if (1) they make their decisions based on teammate surveys which hinge on the manager being ‘well-liked’; Or (2) they empower managers to drive their employees to the ground as long as they make the company’s bottom line.
How can organizations avoid making decisions that lead them to retain such toxic people? What should they prioritize instead?
Listen in and let us know what you think.
“Some organizations create this crazy dynamic that says being liked as a leader is more important than doing the right thing.” (Ed Samuel)
“It’s indicative of the organization itself. Those companies don’t develop people to prepare them for their role. We have to have the courage to sit down and talk to someone when they aren’t performing in alignment with our core values.” (Stewart Wiggins)
“People matter. That’s the most important thing. That’s how you build a culture where people stay and choose to stay. It comes down to individual leaders building their teams right.” (Atif Agha)
Have you ever been in a situation where someone should have been moved out but they were moved around? What do you think caused it?
