Trusting in your team doesn't have to feel scary - 5 questions to help


Listen Later

We get it, letting go of the reins and trusting the judgment of your team can be a frightening prospect. But at some point, you do need to delegate the work, and that includes making decisions about what's a priority, or not. Trust goes a long way.

Patrick and Abigail break down a weekly reflection ritual that we use to keep our remote team in sync with each other, monitor our employee's development, and maintain oversight of our priorities.

Storytime topics for today:
  • Trends in employee engagement
  • How a supervisor/ founder (Patrick, in our case) can recognize clues his employees are disengaging or having an otherwise challenging moment
  • The weekly check-in routine we've developed to help our team stay on the same page with our personal and work priorities
  • Kairos and Kronos = two ways to view time (yes we're back with the Greek wisdom)
  • Evaluating high-performing employees - maybe we're using the wrong metrics?
  • Looking for more?

    For the 5 questions template we use in our weekly checkins, links for book and software recommendations, and the Simon Sinek video clip - view the full show notes on our website
