If people dread coming to work, it's worth asking what happens after they walk through the door.

What’s the scariest thing about your office? Keep it anonymous. We don't need any workplace ghost stories👻 turning into an HR investigation. 😉

There is power in the pause. Wednesday, October 28, 10:00 AM Arizona time, free, online. You will practice a simple Pause, Assess, Respond tool and leave with a 30-day leadership action plan. I would love to see you there. https://t.co/7CqYrQAyOi

From the outside, everything may look fine.
I wrote about what quiet cracking is and how a workplace culture strategy can help leaders understand what is happening before it begins affecting the work and the people doing it. https://t.co/v8T6Teeo9d

I would like to nominate Who wrote this? as the least helpful follow up to an employee survey. Closely followed by I have a pretty good idea. 😉

I think the harder part of asking for honest feedback is deciding what to do when the answer stings.

How much of what's happening on your team do you really see?

Everyday patterns can go unnoticed until they show up as missed deadlines or turnover. A culture pulse check helps you see them sooner.

Work is a whole lot better when people know how to work with people! And yet, we often promote someone into management because they are great at the job, then cross our fingers and hope they know how to lead a team. 😉

Are yours ready? https://t.co/s6D7gw7fUU

Restructuring season has its own vocabulary. "Right-sizing." "Realigning." "Efficiencies." Nobody has ever been told they are being "realigned" and felt reassured.

Managers who give clear reasons, honest timelines, and a human voice protect trust when it is most fragile.

I've been following Arizona's talent search, and it moves me to see people getting a chance at new work. What stays with me most are the people already inside those organizations who will do the teaching, often on top of everything else they carry. https://t.co/FKlBtpISCw

All three events are free & online, so no costume required (No pants required either) Bring a fellow ghost-buster along. Everything is less spooky with a buddy, and you will have someone to compare notes with afterward. https://t.co/q0FFD1EB1C

A 2026 survey of 971 middle level leaders found 75% reported extreme burnout. I look at what managers are carrying between the culture a company writes down and the work that actually gets rewarded, and what HR leaders can do this quarter.

"Stress management,” which I teach, is NOT enough. People in high pressure jobs have to management carrying significant responsibility without losing themselves in the process. https://t.co/g2oBAl15Vm
