In this NachoTesday webinar, Luis from Guaman Consulting, a mindset and performance coach, discusses strategies for building stronger relationships in the workplace and enhancing individual performance. He emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and curiosity in fostering trust between employees and managers. Lewis also explores the balance between the carrot and stick approach to leadership, the value of value-based questions in employee-to-employee relationships, and the impact of remote work on connection. He touches on aligning personal values with company mission, creating an inclusive work culture, and the significance of mental health and goal setting for overall well-being and productivity.

Key Talking Points:

• Vulnerability and Curiosity are Key to Building Strong Workplace Relationships: Leaders who show their human side and express vulnerability can encourage openness and honesty from their team members, fostering better communication and trust. Similarly, employees who show curiosity about their colleagues' values and experiences can build deeper connections.
• A Balanced Approach of "Carrot and Stick" is Necessary for Effective Leadership: While neither extreme is ideal, a customized blend of positive reinforcement and accountability is crucial. Understanding the right balance for different individuals and teams is a key aspect of effective management.
• Aligning Personal Values with Company Mission and Setting Energizing Goals Enhances Performance and Well-being: When employees feel a sense of purpose and see how their values connect with the company's mission, they are more engaged. Additionally, setting both productivity-focused and personally energizing goals can improve motivation and overall mental health.
