1
00:00:03,910 --> 00:00:07,969
It’s pretty obvious... yelling
doesn’t help promote a respectful workplace

2
00:00:07,970 --> 00:00:09,993
or help make people feel included.

3
00:00:10,230 --> 00:00:12,929
It’s the same thing when
dealing with conflict.

4
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:17,389
Relationships get damaged,
productivity dramatically decreases...

5
00:00:17,390 --> 00:00:18,949
People just shut down.

6
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:21,029
I mean, who wants to be yelled at?

7
00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:24,809
It’s unfortunate, but those who
hit conflict straight on like that

8
00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:27,599
usually don’t know a better way
to get things done.

9
00:00:27,989 --> 00:00:30,255
How many meetings do we need?

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,929
People are texting me
because I’m always tied up.

11
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:36,349
I can’t get anything done cuz
I’m in meetings all the time.

12
00:00:36,374 --> 00:00:39,815
I need to send myself a meeting
request just to get to my emails.

13
00:00:40,297 --> 00:00:43,199
And these sales goals are so unrealistic.

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,268
I’m tired of hearing “Be more
productive”... “Maximize your efforts.”

15
00:00:46,293 --> 00:00:48,055
Okay! Stop!

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,249
I’ve had enough of your complaining.

17
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,880
I’m sick of this!

18
00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:57,280
I have tons of resumes
so any of you can be replaced...

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,385
Now, item one - budgets.

20
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:07,893
Okay, so everything’s due on Friday.

21
00:01:08,354 --> 00:01:09,525
That’s fine.

22
00:01:09,550 --> 00:01:12,056
And I don’t mean to sound like
a broken record here but

23
00:01:12,081 --> 00:01:14,284
do we really need to have
all of these meetings?

24
00:01:14,309 --> 00:01:17,513
Yeah. I feel like maybe you just
haven’t thought this all the way through.

25
00:01:19,929 --> 00:01:22,679
I can see that you’re frustrated.
Tell me why.

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,737
My task list keeps getting longer.
These meetings just take up a lot of time.

27
00:01:26,762 --> 00:01:27,830
How about the rest of you?

28
00:01:27,855 --> 00:01:30,884
It’s like we can’t move fast
enough on the treadmill to keep up.

29
00:01:30,909 --> 00:01:33,227
I think we’re all feeling stressed.

30
00:01:33,252 --> 00:01:36,007
I see, and I’m glad
you brought this up.

31
00:01:36,032 --> 00:01:37,771
Let’s talk solutions.

32
00:01:37,796 --> 00:01:39,229
Tim, do you have any ideas?

33
00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:41,609
Well, I know it’s important to meet.

34
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:45,719
But what if we met every other day or
maybe scale back the time each day?

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,665
Yeah.
That would help...

36
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:51,571
And maybe we can spend just a
little less time on each agenda item?

37
00:01:52,014 --> 00:01:53,379
This is good.

38
00:01:54,095 --> 00:01:55,430
Anybody else?

39
00:01:55,508 --> 00:01:57,005
I think I have an idea...
