The Blue Collar Back Office PodcastBCBO Daily 1/17/22We start the week by reviewing a hierarchy of thinking styles presented by psychologist Adam Grant. In his 5-tier pyramid, he reveals the how the vast majority of us process our day to day lives - and, consequently, grow or stagnate. It's simple, really: The best of the all thinkers are able to say, "I might be wrong." They welcome outside voices, opinions, perspectives. They lean on evidence without dismissing emotional impact. In sum, they're learners -- they always want to know more. And that knowing is not just information gathering; it's learning new processes, new systems, entirely new...

The first question is how to deal with an employee that is not meeting expectations, is confrontational with other employees, and does not handle constructive criticism well. Most people see three options. You can fire them, you can get more unfiltered and lash out, or you can keep silent. There is a fourth option that is not always possible, but it may be worth trying - you can attempt to help them change themselves.  You can't change people, a...
