Welcome to Manager Tools. Today's show, The Steelcage Death Match Meetings, part one mentioned there, still. Well, we've mentioned the Steelcage Death Match meeting before in passing, but this is probably one of those things that is, it doesn't happen all that frequently, but when it does it's important and you want to be prepared.

So this probably absolutely does deserve its own guidance.

Yeah, I think this is one of the examples of why people get frustrated in management because the way you learn

is you have to do something for the first time nobody's told you anything about it and you

fail at it, you do poorly at it it and that's true of a lot of things

we do in our lives but when it comes to management it affects our career and

many of us believe that your career is trying to avoid a mistake that's big enough to have a

mark against you that lasts for a couple of years.

And the other thing too is affects other people, particularly when it comes to Steelcage

death matches, right? You're talking about your directs. Yeah, absolutely. I think

that's really, really hard for people because, yeah, in fact, when you think

about it, the difference between the two types of Steelcage death match meetings are such that there's no good name for him, as we've mentioned before, you know.

So it's too bad, it's frustrating, and well that's why we have manager tools.

So we've got five recommendations around the Steel Cage death match means.

First one, there are two types of steel cage death match means first one there are two types of steel cage

death matches one is for a layoff and one is for promotions most people think of

it as being for layoffs but you've got to be ready for promotion meetings as well and it's the same basic principle for wins the day, that's the key, being prepared for these meetings is the way you're

successful in them. If you're not prepared, if you're not ready, if you don't know

what's going to happen at all, you don't even know why you're being called

into your boss's office with all your peers.

You're in trouble.

Somebody else has already done the work they need to do to get their people what they want.
