[00:00:00] Communicating Like a Leader for a Better Team

It’s a known fact that people make mistakes, but when you’re a business owner, it can be difficult not to get angry at employees for work-related blunders. Dianna Booher, founder and CEO of Booher Research, says approaching a problem with a negative attitude will only demoralize your staff. Instead, ask employees to modify their actions for a better result. For more on this critical communication skill and tips on how to inspire your crew, listen now. 

[00:05:45] Get Rid of Demoralizing Team Members

Are you a micro-manager? Booher says if you’re perpetually overloaded and feel like your ‘hair is on fire’, you may fit this personality archetype. Learn how to delegate for a smoother work flow. Then, do you have an employee who demoralizes your team, acting like a cancer inside of your well-oiled machine? Well, boss, it may be time to cut that cancer out. Letting these types of employees go from your team may be hard, but in the long run it will be better for both parties. Find out how to cut the cord for the health of your company. 

[00:11:30] Be the Leader Who Empowers Your Team

Are you all talk and no action? A team respects a leader who is authentic and follows through with the plans she preaches. Booher explains that employees will respect you more when you take initiative, even if that means doing the difficult job of firing someone. Building trust within your organization will gain you happier employees and higher productivity levels. Be the leader that you say you are. Listen now.

Business & Burgers host Scott Duffy informs us that NewFronts is where advertisers are competing to claim their space in hot digital media content. Duffy and Taylor were elated to take part in the 2017 NewFronts and give us a sneak peek at their presentation featuring Founder and CEO of BrandTwist, Julie Cottineau.
