Two Things You should do if you want to create change at your organization
Dear Tanja,
We have a high level of turnover at my organization. It’s disruptive because things fall through the cracks, we aren’t meeting our deliverables, and the team morale is low. I spend my free time trying to figure out how to retain employees. I’m exhausted, but I love my job. I do not want to quit, even though most of my friends tell me to start looking for a new job. Am I being stubborn? Is there anything you can recommend for me to find a moment of peace and be a force of change?
Three Steps To Take When Considering a Temporary Offer
Dear Tanja,
I’m being asked to fill in temporarily for a management role. I’m qualified, and I’m ready for the opportunity, but a little discouraged that the company is posting the position externally. If I say no to stepping in temporarily, I might not be considered for the role. But if I step in and they hire someone else, I’ll be even more disappointed. I don’t want to set myself up for a letdown. How should I handle this so that I am not bitter about it later?
