THEMES & TAKEAWAYS
THE BEST WAY TO GAIN CONTROL IS TO GIVE IT UP!
Are your senior team members struggling to MANAGE a demotivated, disengaged, or burnt-out team?
Instead, understanding how to truly LEAD people increases team morale, engagement and productivity.
When teams and people lose their common purpose, they become distracted, focus on what’s happening outside of the organisation, and lose the incentive to succeed. This is when leaders need to re-engage and motivate their people by reinforcing a common goal or mission.
Inspire your people to reconnect to drive initiative and innovation.
Decision-making is a complex and difficult skill to hone.
Many leaders quickly dismiss information they feel is irrelevant - often ignoring their teams’ input, resulting in substandard outcomes.
These blind spots impede the best
decision-making process: open yourself up to as many inputs as possible. This gives a holistic perspective and engages your WHOLE team, allowing them to take ownership.
COVID has forced many teams to relearn their roles. It can be laborious and time-consuming, especially when they’ve been historically told how and what to do instead of creating their own future role that suits their skills and personal goals.
If you give them the power to deploy their expertise to adapt/achieve individual and organisational goals, engagement and performance improvement follow.
Less autocracy, more autonomy.
CONFUSION LEADS TO CLARITY.
WITH CARE COMES COMMITMENT AND COLLABORATION.
Too many organisations have managers who think they are leaders who can do it all themselves and take the business to another level without involving the people around them.
That is an illusion. Effective leaders understand that they need good people inside and outside the organisation. Without strong and trusted relationships, a business and its people will not survive.
Leadership without relationships is like a Captain with a rebellious crew.
Leading a diverse and multi-generational workforce has unique challenges in motivating and engaging collaboration to deliver outcomes aligned with organisational goals.
Leaders showing care, respect and empathy are key attributes that never fail to engage. These underpin a flexible mindset, support relevance and connection across your teams and enable you to lead in a meaningful way.
