Managing peopLe is easy….said no leader ever!
Leadership is messy, unpredictable, and not always what the manual says, but here’s the good news, it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Check out these common challenges (and the quick fixes that make leading feel a whole lot easier).
Start meetings with the “end goal” before diving into tasks.
Ask: “How does this task connect to our bigger purpose?”
Keep messages short, consistent and repeat the key point often.
Ask: “What is your main take away from what I have just shared”
Make feedback, regular, specific and balanced.
Ask: “Is now a good time to give you some feedback”
Celebrate leaders who “walk the talk”
Ask: “If they can see an inconsistency in their actions”
Set clear expectations and follow up regularly
Ask: “What do you see as your top priority this week”
Recognise individual contributions openly and often.
Ask: “What is one thing you have worked hard on recently that I may not have noticed.”
