The Shocking Truth Behind Our Assumptions About Lazy Employees#OpusClip

The video presents a compelling hook by highlighting the power of narratives and labeling. The speaker effectively conveys the importance of being a good leader who avoids making assumptions. Additionally, the video creates a personal connection and aligns with the current trend of promoting diversity and inclusion. While the video provides sufficient examples, the addition of a call to action could enhance its overall impact.
And all of a sudden we create a narrative based on the story that they tell us that they are a problem, that person's stupid, that person's lazy, whatever it is. Now they're labeled as lazy. Now we treat them as lazy. Now everything that they do or don't do is because they're lazy. But as a good leader, we can take those reports. We can take that hearsay. We can take those direct stories that people have. And we can say, thank you. I appreciate that. I'll look into it. I'm going to find out more. And you go on a little journey to discover what's really happening. It absolutely may be that they're lazy. That could 100% be it. Or maybe they're distracted for a reason or maybe they're having trouble at home or maybe we've given them a job that they're ill-qualified for. Or maybe they're having a personality conflict with somebody that they work with. Like the list goes on and on and on and on. And the good leader is finding that out.
