How to Start a Performance Conversation: Key Insights from Kris Plachy on The Visionary.CEO Podcast 🚀

As leaders, effective communication and maintaining a healthy organizational culture are paramount. In our latest episode of The Visionary.CEO podcast, Kris Plachy delves into the art of performance conversations and why starting with facts is essential. Here are three key takeaways:

🔹 Root Your Feedback in Facts, Not Opinions:

• Highly effective performance conversations begin with observable, measurable facts. This approach neutralizes the conversation and keeps it free from personal biases and emotional upheaval.

🔹 Understand the Impact of Leadership Styles:

• Kris emphasizes that leadership, inherently feminine by nature, thrives on collaboration, co-creation, and communication. Steering away from outdated, aggressive leadership styles can foster a healthier, more engaged team culture.

🔹 Prepare for Honest, Constructive Dialogues:

• Equip yourself to manage challenging conversations by focusing on clear, factual evidence. This practice not only eases tension but also empowers leaders to hold their teams accountable effectively and impartially.

Join us on this journey to transform your leadership approach and elevate your team's performance! 🌟✨

Are you an entrepreneur who just wishes someone would tell her what to do to get her team members to do their jobs? Are you striving to strike a balance between realizing your vision and leading your team effectively? Many entrepreneurs get their start with an idea or a dream, and find themselves in leadership roles without much experience, training, or formal education in how to be a good manager. Situations like this can often lead to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or totally lost. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reminds us that we are not alone, and she shares two effective steps you can take that will clarify your processes and make leadership simpler.

Kris shares an excerpt from her book, The One Hour Leader, which is built on the idea leadership isn't built on a complicated set of skills and management techniques, but instead, is all about understanding human behavior, yours and your teams, and building an ecosystem where everyone thrives and is aligned toward common goals and values.

The first step is to create a strong promise at the core of your business and making that promise the north star for every business decision you make. As Kris points out, "It guides not just what you offer to customers, but also who you invite on your team. Once that promise is crystal clear, every decision, every hire, every step forward is aligned with truth."

In the next step, Kris emphasizes the significance of agreements - that they are the foundation to creating accountable, value-sharing, and inspired teams. She encourages listeners to examine the qualities they believe are important and she shares a list of eight thought-provoking questions to help you clarify and design agreements for your team.

If you're an entrepreneur looking to lead authentically and effectively without unnecessary complexity, tune in as Kris shares her insights and innovative leadership principles.

1. Addressing the Need for New Leadership Paradigms in the Current Workforce

2. The One Hour Leader: Objectives of the book, including simplifying leadership and reducing stress in team management.

3. The Promise of Your Business: The importance of having a business Promise and problems that arise without a clear business Promise.

4. Clarifying Your Promise: Providing questions to help define your business's Promise.

5. The Role Agreements Play in Creating a Positive Business Culture

6. Questions to Help Clarify Your Business Promise: Setting the foundation for a relationship rooted in mutual understanding and respect.

Are you ready to step into conscious, intentional leadership rather than letting your emotions sway your decision-making or responses? This episode of Leadership is Feminine is an honest look at abusive leadership where host Kris Plachy illustrates the consequences of abusive leadership, and how to address the root cause in order to be a more effective leader.

Kris brings to light one of the biggest leadership obstacles we face - not recognizing that it's our role as leaders to understand and work with our team, rather than expecting the team to work around us. Kris also asks us to reevaluate our emotional reactions to mistakes or issues within our teams. Whether it's us avoiding conflict or resorting to insults, either way, we're not doing anything to advance the situation. Instead, we need to take ownership of our emotions, learn how to work through them, and channel them in a positive manner that helps to develop our team members.

The episode also touches on the importance of self-awareness in leadership. You can't effectively lead someone in the direction you want if you don't even know yourself. Kris explores the delicate balance between being both loving and direct, honest and kind and stresses that when leaders emanate such qualities, they not only uplift their team but also themselves.

Kris passionately calls out abusive leadership, urging leaders to understand their role and use it for fostering a healthy work culture, not to harness power or control. Instead, she urges them to embody a leadership style that enhances development, learning, and growth for everyone involved.

Join Kris for this transparent and insightful episode as she guides you towards conscious leadership, urging you to step out of the emotional turbulence and lead with love, understanding, and firmness.

"I think it is up to the leader to understand and love and pour into the team member. It is not the team member's job to understand and pour into and love you."

1. Positional Authority: Explaining what positional authority is and how people are usually socialized to grant this power.

2. Contrasting Supportive and Abusive Leadership Styles: Examining when a leader is allowing their mood to impact the culture and the work environment.

3. Self-awareness for Leaders: Importance for leaders to understand themselves and their teams.

4. The Damage of an Abusive Leadership Style: Discussing the negative impacts of abusive leadership on the work environment and the team members.

5. Navigating When Team Members Make Mistakes: The importance of addressing the issue and doing so with kindness and respect.

6. Encouraging listeners to Lead with Love and Focus on a Co-creative Goal

Are you passionate about leading and ready to explore beyond the traditional methods of learning and growing? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy takes the key role of a 'Sage', discussing a profound approach to self-exploration and the power of understanding yourself beyond typical teaching.

This episode is an exploration into the reality of what it means to be a Sage. If there's one thing that differentiates a Sage from others, it's their deep desire to seek more about themselves and their environment. They have a sense that there is more to their leadership potential and life. As Kris shares in this episode, "A Sage is someone who is well known in their industry, in their space. They are revered. They have built a body of work that has reached a level of excellence in whatever it is that you do. And a Sage is also someone who has wisdom, who has depth of knowing, sort of beyond what would be expected of someone who has lived so far in your lifetime."

It requires a deep understanding of yourself and what you need. It means daring to leap from the safe plane of learning tactics and strategies to a holistic and personal approach to development. Kris shares that being a Sage means moving from a place of seeking knowledge from external sources, and instead, tapping into your own wisdom and understanding.

Kris also addresses potential triggers and challenges of the Sage journey with honesty and reassurance, and what you can expect within the Sage Advisory. She emphasizes the profound significance of Sage, how it nurtures personal growth, the responsibility it bestows on its participants, and why it isn't a typical group leadership program.

Tune in as Kris presents the empowering foundation of Sage, guiding women to embrace their inherent wisdom and gain a profound depth of self-knowledge.

1. Description of the Sage Advisory

2. Giving a Clear Expectation of How the Sage Experience Functions

3. Definition and Characteristics of a Sage: Importance of self-awareness and introspection.

4. Purpose and Value of the Sage Experience: Allowing women the space to tap into their own knowing.

5. Overview of the Teaching and Learning Process: Acknowledging the individualized nature of learning and development; it's not a typical "program" full of videos to watch and worksheets to complete but a reflective journey where each Sage is her own curriculum.

6. The Role of Collective and Individual Work in Sage: The individualized nature of the Sage Advisory.

Have you ever felt like you're navigating the difficulties of entrepreneurship all on your own? Do you wonder if the challenges you face are unique to you? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reveals the seven unavoidable truths that every female founder and entrepreneur encounters on their journey to success.

Kris starts by addressing the uncomfortable issues that every business leader must face. She emphasizes that whatever challenge or person you wish to avoid, your business will inevitably force you to confront it. Whether it's having difficult conversations, trusting your intuition, or working in partnerships, these challenges are inescapable.

Kris discusses the reality that as the founder, you hold the ultimate decision-making power. If you are the one taking all the risks, it is imperative that you make the final calls. This responsibility is a fundamental aspect of leadership that can't be delegated.

Another key truth is the ever-changing nature of everyone involved in a business. Kris talks about the inevitability of change—people will leave, roles will evolve, and you, as a leader, will also grow and transform. She stresses the importance of adapting to these changes to maintain a thriving business.

Kris further explains that the people who helped you get to your current level might not be the same ones who will take you to the next stage of your journey. This truth emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation and evolution of your team and personal growth.

This episode of Leadership is Feminine is a discussion of leadership truths that every business runner faces. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of these concepts to better understand and enhance your leadership journey.

"You are already born to lead. You just don't know it. If you struggle with leading, I believe it's not because you're not capable. It's because you don't believe in what you already know about yourself and you question it."

1. Importance of Facing Challenges Head-On: Your business has a way of forcing you through whatever you don't want to deal with.

2. No One Thinks Like You: Establishing clarity on the outcomes and not expecting that things will be done the way you would do them.

3. Responsibility of a Founder in Decision-Making: Ensure that you are not abdicating in areas of risk in your business.

4. The Destructive Impact of Unaddressed Issues in a Business: Avoiding problems in your business won't make them go away.

5. The Inevitable Change of Your Team and You: Setting the expectation that people on your team will change, and so will you. Those who got you here won't get you there. And the person you were when you started is not the same version of you that will get you to your goals.

6. Delineation of Individual Successes Separate From the Overall Business Success: Your success is not their success, and ensuring that compensation is attached with performance and results, not based on how you feel.
