Why Trust Outsiders Before Insiders? - A R@W Note
11/9/2023
In this episode of Relationships at Work, communications and leadership nerd (and host) Russel Lolacher wonders why organizations prioritize the feedback of outsiders before insiders, and shares the steps to show we value our employees first.
Leaders can be odd. We will talk about employee retention, engagement and empowerment but then turnaround and listen to the feedback of consultants before their own teams. And sometimes those same teams have been sharing that feedback for years, but leadership will act like they're hearing it for the first time.
This can make employees feel undervalued and minimized. Let's do better.
