Being able to give feedback for a female entrepreneur is not negotiable. You HAVE to get good at this. Here is what your responsibility is and a few tools to help you improve at this critical skill.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. Your only responsibility in regard to feedback is just to give it.
2. Don’t give it when you’re angry or don’t have all the information yet, and don’t base it on other people’s opinions.
3. Step one – be direct and teacher-like.
4. Step two - engage them and get them to talk. Determine if it’s a mindset issue or a skill set issue.
5. Advice on what to do with new employees.
6. Third step – now you must transition into performance conversations (we'll talk about this in another episode).
7. Another reason why getting good at feedback is super powerful for a female entrepreneur.
8. The goal of feedback is to give someone perspective that will help them change their performance so they get a different and better result.

Leaders today are so fearful of confrontation and giving feedback that they’re not holding employees accountable. Here’s the big mistake we all make, and how to keep it from being a drag on your business.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. Accountability is your ability to account for someone else’s ability.
2. If we, collectively, as business leaders, decided to consistently account for our employees’ ability, we would change the world.
3. People who don’t care or want to be held accountable don’t hate you. They don’t like the transparency of witnessing their own inadequacy.
4. Age is not related to accountability. It’s experience, and it’s the way people think.
5. The first mistake we all make is hiring someone and assuming they’ll hold themselves accountable.
6. Thinking about hiring someone to solve a problem is the seed of accountability. Once you know what the solution looks like, now you know the role that position must fill.
7. Accountability is not a corporate thing – it’s a relationship thing.

Gossip is “talking to anyone about anything who doesn’t have any control to solve it.” It’s destructive to your business, and here are the foundational tools you need to fix it.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. Why you have to know what your values are in your business. Listen to the previous podcast called “Entrepreneurial Values” here.
2. The importance of setting expectations based on your values.
3. How a company manifesto and a team book (not a policy book) can help.
4. If you have all of that in place, and you still have an issue – you have an accountability gap.

If you feel exhausted and impatient, it could be burnout. But your burnout is not because of your business. Burnout comes from your brain. Here are 5 things that are likely causing your burnout.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. Burnout comes from your brain, and your body follows your brain. What are you indulging in your mind?
2. Another cause of burnout is lack of decisions. Kris’ coach used to say, “Do it. Dump it. Delegate it.” Right now.
3. Burnout comes from overworking in unproductive effort.
4. Your lack of boundaries is also another cause of burnout. You’re too available.
5. Another, you’re buffering. Entrepreneurs use their businesses to avoid feeling things.
