Work Dope
Work Dope is all about the sticky messy side … the human side of work … mostly corporate work… Work Dope is for people who work in all levels within corporate, and wish that it didn't have to suck so much. It's for folks who really do want to have a meaningful experience at work, but run into regular frustration; frustration due to what often feels like absurd policy, absurd structure, absurd promotions, or absurd people. Work Dope seeks to provide tips and techniques for better navigation of work-life, but even better, Work Dope is a place for honest discussion (discovery, exploration) on sticky topics that sometimes get avoided. It's for topics that people at the top just don't see -- (ergo topics that never get addressed). Work Dope is a place to learn new ways to be creative, engaged, and interested with one's work, and with one's co-workers (even the ones we wish would disappear).

•
Linda Stacy
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
