Power is a word used in business all the time. Customer power, competitor power, decision making power etc. This month we have explored what power is and whether leaders are comfortable with their power and the responsibility it places on them.

The hybrid working environment is a new way of operating and leading. A large amount of focus has been placed on building healthy hybrid working environments that support staff and empower them to be productive.

In our article on how to retain your staff, we discussed the power managers have to create a working environment that supports staff to feel and experience what is needed for them to stay and be productive. Leoni Coetzee (Director of RainTree Business Coaching) and Kevin Britz (Leadership by Design) took the conversation further. Through an insightful and exploratory coaching conversation, they unpacked the 6 Human Needs (Cloe Madanes) and its role in supporting staff retention.
The world is experiencing the highest levels of staff attrition in 10 years*. As managers, the cost of losing and securing new staff goes beyond the physical financial costs. The effort and time required to find talent, train them up and get them to full speed is exhausting. All of this while the manager is normally carrying the additional workload from the previous incumbent. The question of “how do I retain my good staff?” is increasingly relevant? The saying, “staff leave managers not companies” reminds us that a significant amount of power lies with managers to retain their staff.
In our article on shifting from feeling stuck and desperate, we discussed the importance of moving back to a place of deserving. Leoni Coetzee (Director of RainTree Business Coaching) and Kevin Britz (Leadership by Design) took the conversation further. Through an intense and real coaching conversation, they explore how to move from desperate to deserving. RainTree Business Coaching understands how hopeless and scary it feels to get stuck in feeling desperate. We support leaders with one-on-one coaching journeys to step back into deserving and action.
The incessant pressure that our clients and we have experienced over the last couple of months has pushed everyone to the limit. A common feeling is desperation. Our clients are often desperate because there isn’t an answer. They have done what needs to be done to solve a problem, but the problem persists. And what they know they need to do and is the right outcome is not being realized. We have also noticed that desperation is the most effective repellent to manifesting.
