Thriving in the ebb and flow of resignations at work

A positive farewell work strategy.

Three questions when an employee is leaving:

First, how do we end it well from the perspective of the leader staying?

Second, how do we end it well from the perspective of the one going?

Third, how do we time the departure so that everyone is at the airport at the same time?

Three steps to support the most positive experience possible with a farewell work strategy:

Step one: have a plan to prepare everyone for a successful departure:

Step two: Recognize that departure is not an event but a process

Step three: for all involved, be prepared to give grace. Grace is a differentiator.

A front loading of strategy is needed into how to not only navigate the ebb and flow of departures but to learn how to thrive.

Friends and family in business

The nuances of working in the business with friends and family

Four pairs of words that provide a balance to the nuances that exist when your work includes the close relationships of friends and family.

I. Roles and Responsibilities

II. Goals and Growth

III. Trust and Travelling On

IV. Communication and Commitment

Six questions that support conversations for leaders who want to dig into deeper into working effectively with your friends and family members at work:

1. Are we friends first or are we employee/employer or fellow employees first?

2. Are we clear on our roles and responsibilities or, over time and with familiarity with each other, has there been a blurring of the lines?

3. What happens to our trust in each other when performance falters?

4. Does our friendship waver when things are tough at work?

5. What goals do we have that are shared goals? What impact does this have on the business? On our friendship? On our family?

6. Do you see growth in our family and friend relationships? If so, who is helping who to grow and develop? If we don’t see growth, why not?
