Hey everybody, Tom here. A quick word before we begin. I was talking with a client recently. He

leads a team and he was having some management issues. At the end of our session he asked were there certain

episodes that he could listen to that would help him and I sent him the link to five.

He told me he listened to all of them but the one that had the most meaning for him was

one called managing bad behavior he thought it was particularly helpful so I went

back and I listen to it and I think he's right. I think it is very helpful.

So I'm rebroadcasting it this month, but I've retitled it. I am calling it

finding management courage. And I'm calling it that because while I do think the

tool I'm proposing is helpful and it's actually pretty simple I think it needs a little bit of

courage healthy courage I hope it needs a little bit of courage healthy courage. I hope it inspires you enjoy.

Welcome back to the Look and Sound of Leadership.

An ongoing series of executive coaching tips designed

to help you be perceived in the workplace the way you want to be perceived.

I'm Tom Henschel, your executive coach, and today we're talking about finding management courage.

Six years ago, Brian had been made Vice President of Consumer Product Graphics.

A gifted artist himself, he led a team of other gifted artists who supplied images that would adorn millions of products around the globe.

He and I had worked together six years back when he'd first become a vice president.

In those days, our coaching focused on finding

his voice as a leader. Brian and I had laughed a lot. I'm glad to say the coaching had been not only enjoyable but also

successful. Plus his office was a delight to the eye. Art of all kinds filled the space in every size from little erasers to giant

figures. I always looked forward to being with Brian.

Currently Brian appeared unable to with Brian.
