E10: How to -> manage up, reverse micromanagement, provide performance-based effective feedback, and MORE! - with Marlene Chism

Work Dope is a podcast on the messiness, and the potential, of humans, at work. In this episode I speak with Marlene Chism, (marlenechism.com), a consultant and author who shares insights and tools for humans interacting, communicating, avoiding, and dramatizing - at work.

We talk about:

• How Marlene transitioned from factory job to become a sought after leadership expert and author (and the related discomfort required for risk and growth)
• Better leadership “training” / how to become a great leader
• What to do as a subordinate when your leaderships isn’t that great
• How micromanagement becomes the MO / where it comes from
• Being able to ask for what you want
• How to give feedback - (NOT the shi* sandwich version)
  • Marlene models her “performance conversation model”
• Navigating the workplace when you're just starting out
