Today was my Friday for the week. I am taking tomorrow off and spending it with my husband and some friends near Douglas GA. My husband and his buddy are going hunting tomorrow and us wives are going to figure out something to do.
Today I had to deal with a situation that I felt was an over blown mistaken perception. It went far better than I had hoped, mostly because of the trust this particular employee has in me. We talked and I did some coaching. We both left the meeting feeling good about things.
I was sure the situation was not as it seemed. Once I got back to the lab, a tech came to me with an issue. This issue turned out to be the proof that I need to show that the other situation was indeed not what it made out to be. It is another situation that needs dealt with but it clears the employee that I was coaching.
Furthermore it is showing me things that I need to monitor more closely. It also gives me a reason other than my gut to justify the increased monitoring. Which is should give me more ability to control things. Stress level has dropped back to zero.
My instincts were good and I had judged the situation correctly. I love being right. Especially about people I like and trust.
Do you follow your gut instincts?
