I’m delighted to share my latest episode of Success Is Never Accidental conversation with Michelle Arentz, founder of Strategic Talent.
Michelle calls herself the “Workforce MD” — getting to the root cause of workforce problems rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Her approach to getting unstuck starts with three deceptively simple questions:
1️⃣ What’s working?
Start with strengths. What can we build upon?
2️⃣ Where are we stuck?
Ask yourself. Ask your team. Then really listen.
3️⃣ What could we do differently?
Not more. Differently.
I particularly like that last question.
As leaders, it is easy to look at what everyone else needs to change. Sometimes the more powerful question is:
“What could I do differently?”
Michelle also makes an important point about feedback: don’t ask for it unless you are genuinely prepared to hear the answer and respond.
🎧 In this episode we explore getting unstuck, understanding what motivates people, aligning talent with opportunity, and creating workplaces where people feel heard.
My challenge to you:
Think of one situation where progress has stalled.
What’s working?
Where are you stuck?
What could you do differently?
