Summary
 They said they could swim in the interview. Nobody asked if they could swim in this pool. Jackye Clayton talks with Dr. Akilah Bradford, HR executive consultant and founder of The HR DOC Consulting, about Temper, the family Rottweiler raised by a whole household, and Scruffy, the poodle mix who would do anything for chicken. They get into why the same command does not work on every dog or every employee, why what motivates someone changes over time, the "difficult" new hire who never got onboarding, and the manager who wants a rule enforced on everyone except their favorite. The pack shapes the behavior. Before you label someone the problem, look at the system that made them. People who seem checked out are often people nobody trained. What motivates someone changes over time, so the reward has to change too. A new hire learns the job from the team around them, good habits and bad. You cannot hold someone accountable for an expectation nobody set. Rules that apply to everyone except the favorite break trust across the team. Before calling someone difficult, look at their onboarding, their manager and their team. 00:00 - Cold open: did you teach them to swim? 00:48 - Temper and Scruffy 04:27 - What motivates changes over time 06:13 - Thrown in the pool 10:29 - The pack shapes behavior 14:59 - Your favorite employee 17:39 - Difficult employees 19:59 - The heel 24:28 - Before you label someone 27:01 - Close and next time Find Dr. Akilah at hr-doc.com, on LinkedIn, and on Instagram @HR_DOC.
