Are you the reason people are exiting both physically and emotionally? There is lots of talk about the importance of retaining talent, fostering collaboration, and building trust. BUT what about when the real issue is closer to home? Sometimes, leaders can unintentionally become the reason their team members withdraw, work in silos, avoid communication, or even resign! It’s painful to consider, but if people are disengaging, if collaboration is stalling, or if turnover is high, it’s worth asking the hard questions Why did it have to come to this? Why aren’t the signs being seen and acted upon? Why hasn’t anyone stepped in to give the feedback needed for growth? In reality, the signs are often clear if we’re willing to look. People may stop reaching out, go silent in meetings, or give up on bringing their best ideas to the table. These behaviours aren’t random, they’re often a response to leadership styles that might unintentionally stifle open dialogue, discourage teamwork, or prevent people from feeling safe. A call to action ✅ Take Accountability- Leadership means owning not only our achievements but also our impact on others. It’s about being self-aware enough to see when we’re the problem. ✅ Seek Candid Feedback - Don’t wait for someone to quit to find out why they’re unhappy. Create an environment where your team feels comfortable giving feedback without fear of repercussions. ✅ Address Your Blind Spots - We all have them. Invest time in self-reflection, coaching, or even formal development to become the leader people want to work with, not despite. Great leaders don’t just inspire performance; they inspire connection, trust, and commitment. Ensuring we’re leading in a way that brings out the best in our teams and makes them want to stay, collaborate, and grow alongside us is essential for both ourselves and the business we operate in. Don't be the reason your people walk away. Be the reason they stay and thrive. ___________________________ After three decades of senior leadership, 15,000+ hours of coaching, and the adventure of building, scaling, and selling a business, one thing’s crystal clear.

In today's fast-paced and often cutthroat business environments, the concept of leaders who think with the heart—focusing on empathy, compassion and emotional intelligence—has become increasingly vital. This approach not only enhances workplace culture but also drives deeper connections with employees, stakeholders and customers. Here’s why this is crucial and how you can cultivate such heartfelt leadership qualities. Why Thinking with the Heart is Essential in Leadership: ♠ Enhanced team dynamics Leaders who lead with empathy and compassion foster a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. This leads to increased morale, reduced turnover, and a more engaged workforce. ♠ Improved decision-making Emotional intelligence allows leaders to consider the human impact of their decisions, leading to choices that can benefit the company in the long term, beyond just the bottom line. ♠ Stronger relationships When leaders show genuine care and concern, it builds trust and loyalty not only among team members but also with clients and business partners. ♠ Innovation and creativity A compassionate leader encourages an open environment where team members feel safe to express new ideas and take risks, which are essential for innovation and creativity. How to Train to Be a Leader Who Thinks with the Heart: ♠ Engage in empathy exercises ♠ Implement mindfulness routines: ♠ Create a 'heartfelt hour' Dedicate an hour each week where team members can discuss anything, work-related or personal, without an agenda. This open forum fosters trust and shows that you value team members' whole selves. ♠ Develop emotional literacy ♠ Practice reflective journaling ♠ Volunteer together Shared experiences in service to others can deepen emotional connections and enhance empathetic leadership skills. ♠ Adopt a mentorship mindset By embracing unconventional practices, you’re not just developing skills; you’re nurturing a leadership style that resonates on a deeper emotional level, promoting a culture of care, respect and mutual growth. _________________________________________________________________ The Other Leader is available to support your goals of creating a fresh way of leading.

Empathetic Leadership: Nurturing Emotional Intelligence and People Skills Cultivating self-awareness and self-regulation isn't just about mastering oneself; it's about setting a precedent for the team. As leaders, it's about leading by example, showing that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength that fosters trust and authenticity. Empathy becomes the cornerstone of genuine connections within a team. How do we, as leaders, demonstrate empathy towards our team members, recognizing their individual journeys and challenges? It's about active listening, stepping into their shoes, and acknowledging that behind every task lies a person with their own joys, fears, and aspirations. Emotionally charged situations are inevitable in the dynamic ecosystem of work. How do we navigate these moments, ensuring that emotions are not suppressed but channeled constructively towards resolution? It involves creating safe spaces for open dialogue, where every voice is heard, and every perspective is valued. Conflict becomes not a battleground but a gateway to understanding and growth. Building genuine relationships with our teams goes beyond the confines of professional obligations; it's about investing in the human connections that transcend hierarchical structures. How do we foster a culture where every team member feels seen, valued, and respected? It's about authenticity, transparency, and a genuine interest in the well-being and growth of each individual. Adapting communication based on individual team member needs is the hallmark of effective leadership. How do we tailor our approach, recognizing that one size does not fit all in the realm of communication styles? It's about understanding the nuances of personalities, preferences, and working styles, ensuring that every interaction is not just informative but impactful. As we navigate the realms of emotional intelligence and people skills, let's recognize that it's not just about managing tasks; it's about cultivating relationships, fostering growth, and inspiring excellence. The call to action is clear – let's lead with empathy, communicate with authenticity, and build teams that thrive on the foundation of emotional intelligence. Come alongside me on the voyage of empathetic leadership! Cultivating emotional intelligence and interpersonal abilities isn't merely a quality of leadership; it forms the core of establishing environments where each team member is appreciated, comprehended, and empowered. #EmotionalIntelligence #PeopleSkills #EmpatheticLeadership #TeamBuilding #AuthenticCommunication EOS Worldwide Vistage Worldwide, Inc. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Want to know more?

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒔 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆? You're constantly putting out fires. Moving from one urgent task to the next, and never getting a moment to step back and think. As a leader, it can be a struggle to carve out space for strategic thinking, yet it's one of the most impactful things you can do for your team, org, and yourself. 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭. So what is Strategic Thinking Time (STT)? It is dedicated, distraction-free time to zoom out from the day-to-day and focus on the bigger picture: 🕛 Where are we? 🕒 Where are we going? 🕞 What's most important right now? 🕘 What challenges can I anticipate and mitigate? It's a time to align (or realign) actions with long-term goals. When was the last time you made time for this? Here's the thing: Strategic Thinking Time doesn't just happen, you have to be intentional with it. Schedule it, protect it ... Treat it like the essential leadership tool it is. When I ask clients: 𝑊ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑦? I usually get, “𝐼 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒…” Here's the transformation that happens when you commit to STT: ✅ You stop reacting and start leading. ✅ You know where to focus your time and energy. ✅ You make better decisions. You might be thinking: 1️⃣ "𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔."  You are in too many meetings 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 you haven't made time for this. Since you haven't determined which meetings are the best use of your time, you go to all of them. 2️⃣ "𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇." Blocking out time with no distractions is necessary for growth and development. Leadership requires forward thinking and planning ahead. 3️⃣ "𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒎𝒆."  Your team needs a leader who can demonstrate setting boundaries. 4️⃣ "𝑰’𝒎 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰’𝒎 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒚." Busyness and productivity are not the same thing. Slowing down to think might be uncomfortable, and it can help you be productive with the right things. 5️⃣ "𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆." No worries. It is a skill and it can be developed. And it can only be developed if you do it! Challenge: Find ONE HOUR this week, block it on your calendar, turn off notifications and think. #leadershipdevelopment Need help figuring out how to make this work for you? Schedule a call — helping leaders like you carve out space for big-picture thinking is one of my favorite parts of coaching.

Is your leadership style creating an environment of openness or fostering silence? 👉 In a world where innovation and collaboration are vital for success, leaders must prioritize openness to unlock their team’s full potential. 👉 However, many leaders struggle to cultivate a genuinely open culture, often driven by fear of criticism or a desire to maintain control. This leads to disengagement, stifled creativity, and a lack of trust within teams. 👉 Without openness, communication falters, and the full spectrum of ideas and perspectives remains unheard. Here’s why traditional leadership approaches often fail to nurture an open environment—and how Leader TANGO offers a transformative solution: 1)Closed Communication Channels: 🔸 Problem: Many leaders rely on formal, structured communication that can stifle candid discussions and feedback. 🔹 Leader TANGO Solution: Leader TANGO encourages informal and spontaneous communication, creating a space where team members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas freely. 2)Fear of Judgment: 🔸 Problem: Leaders often worry that expressing their vulnerabilities or uncertainties may be perceived as weaknesses, leading to a culture of silence. 🔹 Leader TANGO Solution: Leader TANGO promotes a culture of psychological safety, where leaders model vulnerability and openness, encouraging team members to do the same without fear of negative repercussions. 3)Lack of Inclusivity in Decision-Making: 🔸 Problem: Traditional leadership can lead to exclusive decision-making processes that alienate team members and limit their input. 🔹 Leader TANGO Solution: By actively involving team members in decision-making, Leader TANGO fosters a sense of ownership and encourages diverse perspectives, leading to more innovative solutions. 4)Rigid Leadership Roles: 🔸 Problem: Leaders often feel confined to specific roles, making it difficult to connect with their teams on a personal level. 🔹 Leader TANGO Solution: Leader TANGO encourages leaders to embrace flexibility in their roles, fostering genuine relationships and facilitating open communication across all levels. 5)Dismissive Responses to Feedback: 🔸 Problem: When leaders dismiss or ignore feedback, it sends a clear message that openness is not valued, discouraging future contributions. 🔹 Leader TANGO Solution: Leader TANGO emphasizes the importance of active listening and valuing team input, reinforcing a culture where every voice is heard and respected. ➡️ By focusing on openness, inclusivity, and genuine engagement, Leader TANGO helps leaders create a thriving environment where creativity and collaboration flourish.

Sometimes, it’s about blind spots—the unseen obstacles that hold you back without you even realizing it. Here are a few common ones: 1. Failure to Delegate: Trying to do everything yourself. ↳Solution: Learn how to effectively delegate tasks to your team. Trusting others allows you to focus on bigger strategic goals and empowers your team to grow. 2. Not Listening: Talking more than listening. ↳ Solution: Leadership is about active listening. Understand your team's needs and concerns, and respond accordingly to foster trust and engagement. 3. Avoiding Difficult Conversations: Shying away from confrontation. ↳ Solution: Leaders need to tackle difficult situations head-on. Whether it’s giving feedback or addressing conflict, confronting issues directly builds respect and transparency. 4. Lacking Strategic Thinking: Focusing only on day-to-day tasks. ↳ Solution: Shift your focus from immediate tasks to long-term vision. Leaders must see the bigger picture and strategize for the future. 5. Fear of Taking Risks: Staying in your comfort zone. ↳ Solution: Leadership involves calculated risks. Learn to step outside your comfort zone, innovate, and make bold decisions when needed. 6. Inability to Influence: Not understanding how to build influence. ↳ Solution: Leadership is not just about authority; it’s about influence. Build relationships across teams, develop trust, and lead by example to become a person people want to follow. 7. Micromanaging: Not allowing your team the space to grow. ↳ Solution: Shift from managing every detail to empowering your team to take ownership. Trusting them helps you focus on higher-level priorities and nurtures team independence. 8. Lack of Emotional Intelligence: Struggling to understand and manage emotions—yours and others. ↳ Solution: Develop emotional intelligence (EQ). Be aware of how your emotions affect others, and learn to manage difficult situations with empathy and composure. Do any of these sound familiar? Identifying your blind spots is the first step towards overcoming them. Here’s how you can start: ☑️ Ask for feedback from colleagues and mentors. ☑️ Read books and articles on effective leadership. ☑️ Attend training and development programs. Don't let your blind spots hold you back from achieving your true potential. ____________________________ ✔️ Follow me Shrijith Krishnan💎, for specific insights on Growth and Leadership ✔️ Reshare the Post if you think it will add value to your network. ✔️ Join my FB group to stay ahead of the curve .

Self-awareness is all it takes to be an effective leader. Is this true? You may have taken personality, strengths or, work values assessments at work. You’ve had a deep discussion about your self-awareness. You start having an open discussion about your strengths and possible areas, in need of improvement. This required you to look internally. To accurately, judge yourself, with your thoughts and feelings that impact your behaviour at work. To validate this, you were asked questions such as: “Tell me about a time when this behaviour had an impact on your performance" If you gave a positive impact. They asked: “Tell me about a time when this ability had a negative impact on your performance" Doing this, we relate your personal experience to validate your level of strategic self-awareness. You now understand, there is no right or wrong personality style. You passed the test of self-awareness. You now go back to your day-to-day job, leading the strategic business division.

You know that you passed the self-aware test. You know your team requires: 1)a strategic style of leadership, 2)an empowering style of leadership, and 3)you’re going to have to get team to operate and function as a collective. Your validation of self-awareness, combined with your ambition and technical expertise.

The results: -Your TQ score was 91, and the team became role models for other teams. -Your team made huge positive in supporting change and innovation -Your team set the company into a positive direction and revenues doubled. -Your team had the right balance of autonomy and you brought out the best in them. You understood that being an effective leader requires not only self-awareness, but versatility and your ability to build teams. Exactly, combining self-awareness with versatility and TQ, will not only make you an effective leader, but it also brings out the best in the team too.

Ever wonder how some leaders manage to turn adversity into advantage? Let me share a real-life example from one of my clients who turned a challenging situation into a success story. After a significant company reorganization, my client's team found themselves in disarray. Productivity had dropped, morale was low, and the sense of purpose that once drove the team was now clouded by uncertainty. The pressure was mounting, and so was his stress. He was determined to turn things around but didn’t know where to start. We started with a leadership development program, focusing on emotional intelligence, effective communication, and emphasizing the importance of reaffirming the team’s purpose and vision. ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ ⏩ Rebuilding trust and relationships was the starting point: Understanding that trust had been eroded, my client fostered open and transparent communication. He organized a team meeting where he transparently discussed the reorganization's impact and the future direction of the team. ⏩ Addressing Workload and Resource Concerns: He assessed the current workloads and redistributed tasks to ensure a fair and manageable distribution. By providing the necessary resources and tools to help team members perform their tasks effectively, he alleviated stress and potential burnout. He also made himself approachable and available to address potential issues: regular check-ins to identify obstacles or resource gaps became a regular part of his leadership approach. ⏩ Setting Short-Term Goals and Celebrating Wins: To provide a sense of accomplishment and progress, he set short-term, manageable goals with clear deadlines. Celebrating each milestone reached, no matter how small, became a new norm. He recognized and rewarded team efforts and individual contributions, using positive reinforcement to build momentum and encourage continuous progress. ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ The true test came with a critical project that threatened to derail. Drawing on the skills he developed, my client led his team with newfound confidence and clarity. His leadership transformation had a ripple effect. The team’s productivity has recovered and they began meeting deadlines with ease, as well as their work quality improved significantly. ↳ One team member shared, “It’s like we’ve rediscovered our passion. We’re not just doing our jobs; we’re driving towards something bigger.” ↳ My client summed it up well: "Engaging in this leadership program was the catalyst I needed. It didn’t just equip me with tools; it reshaped my entire leadership philosophy. Now, I see challenges as opportunities to lead and learn." His story is a reminder of the impact effective leadership can have on a team’s spirit and performance. Are you ready to go to the next level in your leadership?
