Spaces to talk about the pain of self-managementCategory: Self-management - teams, colleagues and (former) managers
The transition to self-management can be at times both exhilarating and painful. Spaces to explore the pain with colleagues can offer great relief. Oh, I'm not the only one having trouble with this. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with me after all!
Similarly, when someone struggling hears a colleague share a breakthrough, it gives them inspiration and confidence. Creating such spaces has another benefit: when people don't have a place to express their pain, they often project it out. Self-management is a stupid idea, this will never work! You'll avoid much unnecessary struggle by simply offering a space where people can express how challenging this transformation can be. |
