What do you say to direct reports who vent to you about things that aren't going well or decisions they disagree with? Do you feed into it and maybe even share that you agree with how they feel about things?

And very similarly, to whom do YOU talk to when you're frustrated and want to vent? Is your boss on the list of people you might be calling up?

If yes, this episode is for you. We're going to talk about why as a leader it matters a great deal how you respond when people air their frustrations to you and what you need be considering before you vent to others.

Don't miss this. It may help you build and develop a great deal of trust and credibility when you get this right!
