The Lightbulb: Ep 27: Team Engagement, Influence Without Authority & Why Your Week Falls Apart


Listen Later

85% of employees are not engaged or actively disengaged. That's not bad luck. That's predictable and preventable.In this episode, I'm sharing three lightbulb moments from workshops and client work this week about engagement, influence, and why your week falls apart by Thursday.We're exploring:→ The 85% problem - why most leaders wait until disengagement to start the conversation (by then damage is done - use Gallup's 12 questions in regular one-to-ones before problems appear, don't wait for signs to start the conversation, that's reactive leadership)→ Influence currencies - why your logic doesn't persuade them (compelling business case means nothing if you're trading in wrong currency - five currencies: inspiration, task, position, relationship, personal - map stakeholder currencies before influencing, trade in their currency not yours)→ Monday strong, Thursday panic - the weekly structure degradation pattern (starts Mondays in control, ends Thursdays in panic, works extra Fridays to catch up - week didn't get harder, structure degraded, design your week don't default)Don't wait for problems to start the conversation. That's reactive leadership.Subscribe for weekly insights on intentional leadership - helping successful leaders transform from overwhelmed and exhausted to efficient and effective while getting their life back in the process.EXPLORE MORE:Visit https://zoethompson.uk for frameworks, resources, and programmes that support your transformation from reactive to intentional leadership.Lead with intention.
