What To Do About Personal Drama In An Agency – Boundaries

In an agency, it’s definitely a great feeling when your staff is comfortable at work. You know when someone’s daughter starts pre-school, you have everyone’s birthday on the calendar, and you get to connect with each other on a deeper level, outside of just work. But there is a dark side to this sort of free-flowing information in an insurance agency: when someone brings their personal life, and their personal drama, into your agency.

“The bottom line is it cannot impact our work. And there does need to be some boundaries, especially with leadership”

What To Do About Personal Drama In An Agency – Job Performance

You’ve probably been in this situation at your agency before: someone is going through a personal drama, and they’ve brought it into work. It’s one thing to share personal information with one another in a healthy and pleasant way in an agency, but it’s another thing when a personal drama takes away from work.

“Personal matters should not and cannot impact an agency in that way, especially when it comes to goals. And so, as an agency owner, as someone in an agency, a manager or something to that effect, I think we need to focus and concentrate on performance, over personal matters.”

What To Do About Personal Drama In An Agency – 6 Month Rule

When someone at your agency is going through a personal drama, it can be a big distraction for them, and for others in your agency. It also may seem like something that’s nearly impossible to address, because you want to be kind. But today’s video is about having boundaries, and how that’s actually the kindest thing you can do, and what to do if this turmoil goes on for a long time.

“So what do we do if someone has been in some turmoil for quite some time? I have what’s called my six-month rule. There are people who fall on hard times and there are people who live in hard times.”

What To Do About Personal Drama In An Agency – Value Your Time

What do you do when someone in your insurance agency is bringing their personal drama into work? This can be a delicate issue to deal with, but if left unaddressed, it can lead to tons of distractions for your entire team, and can impact your office culture. All this week we’ve been diving into this topic, because when this happens, personal drama suddenly starts to impact work productivity.

“You as a coworker, as a manager, or as a leader, need to make sure you value your own time, because someone else’s drama they’re bringing to you… may cause you to fall behind in your tasks.”
