Did You Tell Them what the Meeting's About? (Challenge #37)
When going into a meeting with little to no context, it's easy to jump to the worst possible conclusion. Especially if a team member has had negative experiences with previous bosses who behaved unkindly toward them, their imagination can make things seem much more catastrophic than they are in reality!
While it’s not your responsibility as a leader to make your team members feel 100% comfortable 100% of the time, simply changing the way you phrase a meeting request can make all the difference.
There’s no need for meeting invitations to be mysterious. Remember, your pleasant surprise might be someone else’s sleepless night! Unless there is a legal or HR-related reason that you can’t, this is an official leadership challenge to ensure that your meeting agendas are crystal clear.
It may seem like a small detail, but it's these details that show whether you are truly a thoughtful and kind leader—and you’ll save your team members any unnecessary “we need to talk” fear!
To learn more about the huge impact that just a little context can make, you won't want to miss today’s short and sweet episode.
