2018 is approaching quickly. Are you ready to set goals, develop action plans, and course correct as necessary?
Inspire your team to engage complexity and critical thinking when solving complex problems; empower them to make business-critical decisions and unleash their potential.
Everyone wins, when leaders encourage people on their team to be understood
Possible Objection: Disengaged employees do not participate or engage with toxic venting
Opportunity: Core value recalibration sessions with the team, create space for respect and appreciation of similarities and differences, coaching them through self-awareness to increase adaptability and encourage accountability within the team
Leaders create a safe space to propose wildly creative ideas
Possible Objection: They forgot how to be creative or think for themselves after being told what to do for the last 20+ years of their lives
Opportunity: Develop a complexity design thinking activity to help them ‘light up’ the creative side of their brains, pop-corning ideas, brainstorming, and building
Delegate and empower team member decision-making authority
Possible Objection: They resist making decisions for fear of retribution or retaliation of failure(s)
Opportunity: Afford the team the grace to make mistakes, proactively mitigate risks through learning moments and communication, and celebrate trying something new
Teach and model for your team, “the gift of feedback”
Use this method to build your team’s relationship to feedback by asking them, “what went well” and “if they would change one thing, what would it be.” Then ask, “are they open to the gift of feedback?” Follow the lead they set. Often the recipients of feedback know what went well and what didn’t, their self-evaluation is the most powerful form of coaching.
Possible Objection: They fear demonstrating vulnerability and protect their ego at all cost
Opportunity: Model the gift of feedback, authentically ask for feedback and celebrate team growth through recognition and transparency
