RAISING A TRICKY ISSUE WITH SENIORS--and how to survive it
Description
This episode focuses on navigating tricky issues with more senior colleagues. It begins by reviewing the complexity of understanding seniors' perspectives and their experience-based approach to work.
The goal is not to isolate or stereotype older colleagues but to foster an empathetic understanding that aids meaningful communication, especially when raising complicated matters at work.
From the disappearance of office supplies to the accidental mass circulation of a sensitive email, the session identifies various awkward situations that one might encounter in your professional journey. The podcast offers prudently, humorous, and empathetic strategies to approach such dilemmas.
Furthermore, the focus is on seeing older colleagues as peers rather than superiors and on showing interest in their experiences.
The session highlights the importance of attending team events, seeking mentors, and engaging in cross-generational conversations.
The podcast suggests survival tactics, including active listening, choosing the right time for discussions, and seeking mediation whenever necessary.
Ultimately, the goal is to empower you to tackle difficult conversations with seniors at work, with empathy and understanding.
