How to Handle Attitude Issues

About this episode

Kate Waterfall Hill discusses how leaders can effectively handle team members with bad attitudes by addressing underlying issues and fostering open communication.

How leaders should handle a team member’s “bad attitude,” is the subject of this episode of 'How to Lead' with Kate Waterfall Hill. Kate discusses how attitude is usually a sign, not the root issue, and recommends separating capability from behaviour, addressing issues early, asking what’s going on and listening. Leaders should also examine their own clarity, the space they create for honesty, and the broader culture.
