What Can I Control?

Ten Productive Questions

This 10th question was placed as the last episode of Season 1 of Ten Productive Questions Podcast for a reason. When we talk about productivity, it is really about practicing what you can control and accepting those that you cannot. There is a thin line between exercising control and providing structure especially when it comes to the management of a team. Leaders are believed to have control over the people they are in charge of, and this must be exercised in order for the assumed positive results to be achieved. In reality, however, this is not what happens. On the other hand, a leader who provides his or her team with a sense of psychological safety to make decisions and control what they do are likely to produce superior results.

The discussion offered here by Christian Alan Vibar and David Angway will surely hit to the core. Make sure to listen to this episode to give you a better perspective into what things you are able to control. Happy listening!
