Question:
Below, I have provided links to several dozen podcasts, based on your input to our Module 6 discussion. A theme around difficult employees, difficult conversations, terminations, and similar workplace “headaches” was chosen. I have grouped the podcasts into 5 categories:
- Dealing with Difficult Employees; Difficult Conversations at Work
- Termination
- Performance Management
- Communication, Feedback
- Other
(While we’ve already discussed performance management, the reality is that performance management and problematic employees and/or termination are often connected.)
As you listen each podcast, write a 1–2-page discussion paper answering the following questions:
- What did you learn?
- What surprised you?
- What additional questions came to mind as you thought about this issue?
- Can you relate this to an example you’ve witnessed?
- Did the podcast add to your understanding? What was the “value” of the podcast?
- Other things you found notable
Each of the podcasts below is an Apple link. You can listen to the podcast on the linked website by pressing the play button (triangle) immediately below the podcast cover art.
