Vicky Oliver

Vicky Oliver, a leading career development expert and the multi-bestselling author of five books including Bad Bosses, Crazy Coworkers & Other Office Idiots again joins Enterprise Radio.

This episode of Enterprise Radio is working in association with the Author Channel.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Vicky Oliver discuss the following:

  1. Tell our listening audience a bit more about yourself.
  2. So, what are the keys for how companies should better engage workers in the big picture of each task or project?
  3. Tell us what principles of common business decorum most apply to people in leadership roles?
  4. Now here’s a topic that makes most people cringe. Tell us how micromanaging leads to costly employee disengagement?
  5. What are the short- and long-term benefits of letting people fail?
  6. So, what have you found to be the things that keep employees interested and concerned in their jobs? And are these things commonplace in today’s work world, or coveted by a few, select companies?
  7. This is something I personally can’t stand. If people tell me they’re going to do something, I expect them to follow-through. So what are the expected business outcomes when leaders flounder on their position and not make good on their promises?
  8. So this is something we talked about a few months ago on #WorkTrends. Empathy seems to be rather hot topic for people interested in workplace culture. So tell us why empathy should be considered a strength, not a weakness?
  9. You talk about how leaders need to develop a reputation for reasonableness. What does that mean?
