Leading Beyond Any Title

As a Leader, providing continuous feedback is a critical aspect of steering performance, fostering accountability, nurturing team growth, and ensuring that work remains on track and is timely. But is feedback genuinely a gift?
 
Consider: When you give someone a gift, the intent, delivery, and the occasion are carefully considered. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, or a well-done gesture, the context matters. Feedback demands a similar level of thought and intention, yet, regrettably, it often falls short. Observe the subtle cues when you approach someone with, “May I offer you some feedback?”. Does their body language radiate excitement and openness, or do you sense hesitation?
 
This conversation will touches on:
 
Understanding the genuine needs of your employees: The skill sets required to deliver timely, tailored feedback that aligns with their needs.
 
Navigating poorly delivered feedback: Strategies for handling situations where the necessary skills are lacking, and you are the receiver.
 
Building an effective culture of feedback within a team: Explore practical approaches and potential obstacles to creating a feedback-rich culture.

It is said that all great teams have a high degree of Psychological Safety. That they are willing and able to engage in strenuous debate of ideas and concepts, challenge each other, and hold each other accountable – all without fear of blame, shame, or judgement. 

In this Leader Lesson conversation, Jennie and Craig define Psychological Safety, discuss what it is NOT, the role of a leader vs. teammates in creating a psychologically safe space, and talk about why the goal is to develop a culture of contribution. 

This conversation follows an earlier, longer, and more in-depth discussion of Psychological Safety. You can access the resources from that conversation here:

As James Clear said – “New goals don’t deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”  

Jennie and Craig discuss goal setting, looking at why and when it works and makes sense to do so, why SMART goals aren’t necessarily the best approach, why goal setting goes wrong and can – at times – feel like a check box exercise, and more. All aimed at helping you think about the systems and processes to focus on to generate great outcomes.

No one likes to be micromanaged. Leaders need to strive to empower their team members, trust them to do their work done, and strive to hold them accountable to deliver exceptional results.  

In this short Leader Lesson Jennie and Craig define micromanagement, look at the reasons it happens, discuss how you can identify if you are a micromanager, and finally highlight some of the ways to reduce or eliminate micromanagement.  

This conversation draws on a prior, longer conversation that Jennie and Craig had about Micromanagement. Resources from that conversation can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/smart-links/AQHUPFNkx5TqNA
