How to cope when a colleague shouts at you and becomes parental!
In this episode I talk to Mary Gregory who shares her experience from the past.
The lesson is that timing matters, but also that you need to respond with intention, not emotionally.
The patience to allow them to vent and to allow them to exhaust the emotion is a great start. It is important to let them feel heard, but not to allow them to win.
We discuss the mechanism of Transactional Analysis and how power can affect culture, with some very interesting currency!
Mary talks about how meeting rooms can be used as a power lever.
