Why being part of a high performing team can be hit or miss
Why listen In this short podcast I talk why being part of or leading a high-performance team can be hit or miss.

• We spend a large majority of our life at work, with people that we see more of than our family and friends.
• That it is an absolute joy to be part of a focused and functional team where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
• It is completely disempowering to be part of a toxic team where infighting is rife, people leave
• That it’s the leader’s role to drive change towards the culture they want to be part of, as well as each person in the team also being involved.
• Building a team’s culture is like building a bridge: without a strong foundation and sound engineering, it may fail.

The risks leaders face when it comes to delegating
Why listen In this short podcast I talk about the risks leaders experience when it comes to delegating, as well as the risks that those we delegate to may face.

• How our role and our work will suffer if we do not listen to feedback especially if it's related to work that has been delegated to us.
• When our boss has provided us with feedback based on work they have delegated – if we do not consider that, our work is put at risk and we narrow our focus on what is possible
• As a leader, when work is delegated work to someone else, how do we feel if we don't think we’ve been listened to
• Risk of becoming a micromanager - checking in to see if they are doing the work as

What we need to do:

• We have to focus on creating a safe environment for delegation
• We have to be clear and succinct
• We have to ramp up our listening abilities
• We have to be curious and ask questions to check that we understand and that we are being understood

What some leadership tips?
Why listen In this short podcast I talk about delegating. When I ask people if they are great delegators there are a number of reasons they say ‘no’.

• Why delegation is like riding a Segway
• Why people don’t delegate
• we may feel the task is menial so shouldn't pass it on and do it ourselves
• we know how busy every member of our team is and don't want to burden them more, so do it ourselves
• our team are new and we want them to come up to speed before believing we can delegate too much to them, so we do it ourselves
• we don't trust our team to do it like we would do it, so we do it ourselves
• it would take longer to explain what needs to be done than doing it ourselves
