It's a familiar scenario. You go into a discussion and you spend 20 minutes talking about someone who isn't even in the room; you end up walking away with zero actionable solutions.
I call this 'investigating a ghost'. When team members come to you frustrated about a colleague, it's tempting to play detective together, analyzing that absent person's motives and behaviors. But here's the trap: you can't coach/change someone who isn't there.
In this episode, I'll show you how to pivot these circular conversations into productive problem-solving by focusing on what actually matters: the person right in front of you + what's within their control.
Main Ideas:
- Why do leaders waste time investigating absent people instead of coaching the person present.
- The Three-Step Pivot
- How to shift from passive complaining to active agency, and why not taking sides is actually more helpful.
