It's time for conversation analysis. Let's take a look at the two conversations that we saw when we first started. And let's learn more about them. Let's explore them. Talk about them. Conversation number one, Sam, if we don't get our hands dirty, none of the employees will respect us, Amy, but I just got promoted, and now have a corner office with a great view.

Sam, listen to me, your promotion is great, but we must get our hands dirty to maintain employee morale. So let's talk about this conversation. In this situation, we have two employees. I would say their management, management, maybe a manager a boss, someone above the regular level of employees. So they're talking and they're talking about getting their hands dirty. This His definition number one, were the management employees or the managers, the bosses, they decide to help out the employees.

So the first part, Sam says, if we don't get our hands dirty, none of the employees will respect us. He could have said, if we don't work with our subordinates, none of the employees will respect us. So if we don't work and help out the people that are below us, that work for us, they're not going to respect us. Amy, Amy's probably not the best manager. But I just got promoted and now have a corner office with a great view. It's easy to see that Amy's top priorities are probably not helping her employees.

She's just fascinated and excited about her new corner office, which is probably pretty cool because if you're having corner office, you have probably when knows on both sides in a fabulous view, but that doesn't really help your employees when they're pulling their hair out and still frustrated because they can't get their work done. So Sam seems to be more of a reasonable manager. He's willing to help out the employees and get things done. So Sam tries to talk to me and says, Listen to me, your promotion is great, but we must get our hands dirty. In other words, we must get involved at work to maintain employee morale. employee morale, first, morale is like attitude.

How are you doing? I have high morale. I got great energy, great emotion. I have low morale. Oh, I'm so depressed. Things are horrible.

The world is coming to that. So if you're a boss, or you're working somewhere Do you think you would want to have the employees have high morale, good morale or low morale? I think the answer is pretty obvious, right? You want your employees to have good morale, high morale, because then they're much more focused and able to get their work their work done. So Sam wants to focus on maintaining employee morale. So if the morale is already at this level, people are happy, they're getting things done, they're productive, they're effective.

Then Sam wants to keep that level. He wants to maintain the word maintain, means to keep it where it is, or maybe even go higher improve, but you don't want to the opposite of maintain would be to decrease or to lose where you're at lose momentum. So Sam is focused on maintaining employee morale. He wants to get involved he wants to work with these with the subordinates. Amy is focused on her wonderful office. Let's move on to conversation number two Tanya, I know you got your hands dirty working for the mob about five years ago.

Eric? Well, you get your hands dirty every time you break into rich people's homes and steal things. Tanya, hey, this conversation is about your illegal activity, not mine. Let's stay focused. In this conversation, get your hands dirty. Got your hands dirty.

This idiom is the definition number two of get your hands dirty. So we're talking about illegal activity crimes, unlawful behavior, breaking the law. So Tanya, she's talking to Eric, and she says, I know you got your hands dirty working for the mob. The mob is short for mobsters. It could be like the mafia gangsters, groups of illegal people that Going to do things that break the law, right? Probably violent things, maybe hurt people steal money and do stuff like that.

So Tanya could have said, I know you did something he legal working for the mob about five years ago. So time is talking about Eric's past. Eric responds, well, you get your hands dirty every time you break into rich people's homes and steal things. In other words, well, you commit a crime every time you break into rich people's homes and steal things. I think one thing we can take away from this conversation is Tanya and Eric are both criminals. They both do illegal things.

They break the law. They do unlawful things. They're not law abiding citizens. And for some reason, they want to compare and talk about what they've done in the past. Over here in the bottom, we see some of the stuff that Eric did. Something with guns pointing stuff at people.

And that doesn't always end up well. Now, Tanya, she's not really an angel either. See, she's picking into a safe and taking the money of people, rich people or other people and taking stuff that's not hers. So we have a couple of criminals. All right, so we just did conversation analysis. I think that's just great.
