Frame 3: The Disenchanted Employee

Iremember receiving some early coaching advice from an MIT professor. He told the seminar class a story around taking his daughter crabbing in the Boston Bay. She was very worried about there being no lid on the pail. The professor told his daughter that no lid was needed — anytime one of the crabs started working his way to the top, another would reach up and pull him down. The moral of the story was that chronically negative people (crabs) would bring the whole team down and never allow any one of them or the team to reach new heights.

I often ask managers how many of their team they would rehire if they were starting over. In my entire career, there is only one time that a manager told me that he would rehire everyone on his team. We actually should be striving to have a team full of high-potential, high-performing individuals. If you have a couple of Frame 3 employees on your team, I assure you that your entire team will suffer.

If you live in Frame 3, please look hard at yourself in the mirror and realize that it’s time to take the steps needed to get to another frame. I find that people who live chronically in Frame 3 tend to have a detrimental negative outlook — and with it come

79 significant ramifications: other people will be far less interested in spending additional time with them, offering them additional opportunities, or cheering them on. Any other frame is better than Frame 3 — and a step closer to Frame 2, where we should all want to be.
