11: Managing in the Messy Middle

In this episode, Mike Neill talks about managing in the “messy middle."
 
Anyone that tells you they can give you a list of three things that will solve every performance problem and employee issue is not being truthful. The tactics and principles that ServiStar Consulting teach are research-based and have been proven to work over the years, but, they work in only about 90% of situations that we find ourselves in. The full truth is that we will all find ourselves in situations for which there are no flow charts or bullet point-solutions designed. You then find yourself in what Mike Neill calls the "messy middle." Learn how to identify your personal core values and guiding principles, which will lead you to a solution that is consistent, emotionally intelligent, and maintains relationships.
