Resolutions – Gain a New Perspective

Proactively seek out conversations with colleagues at all levels—both those who report to you and those you report to—to understand their daily experiences and challenges.

Approach these discussions with genuine curiosity and an open mind, aiming to learn and understand rather than to critique or solve problems immediately.

Ask specific questions about what makes their job difficult, what their struggles are, what gets in their way, and what makes them successful.

Schedule these conversations outside of regular work meetings to ensure dedicated, uninterrupted time for meaningful dialogue.

Recognize that people generally enjoy talking about themselves and their work, so your initiative will likely be appreciated and foster stronger professional relationships.
