Ever found yourself grinding your teeth over a team member's flaws, blind to what they excel at? That's the cliffhanger we tackle with our guest, who shares a tale of transformation that began with an exasperated manager and an employee's untapped potential. Our conversation pivots on a singular, powerful question that reframes a common workplace conundrum: "What does the employee do well?" This pivot from frustration to opportunity is a game-changer, and we're here to unfold how this simple query led to a vital shift in leadership perspective and team dynamics.

Tune in as we reveal the story behind an employee's journey from underperformance to becoming a beacon of expertise, all spurred by a strategic approach inspired by insights from "The Expertise Economy" by Kelly Palmer. This episode isn't just an anecdote; it's an eye-opener that illustrates the profound impact of nurturing strengths within our teams. We're not just recounting a manager's change of heart; we're discussing the ripple effect that embracing each team member's unique skill set can have on the entire workplace atmosphere.
