Have you been part of a distracted team? Reasons may be external (e.g. wars, elections) or internal (massive shift of ways of working, organizational restructuring, change around key stakeholders). The common trait is emotionally charged environment that may last for weeks or months. Leaders have a few helpful strategies to consider: ⭐ Avoid anxious fixing - taking time to reflect on the team number 1 priority and how this can be achieved is well better option compared to spinning into action in order to achieve sense of control ⭐ Give non-update updates - to get ahead of unnecessary anxiety spirals, be as transparent as possible, even if that means just letting your team know that you don’t have anything new to share ⭐ Provide a clear path forward - articulate the desired outcome and criteria of success, establish clarity on ownership and decision making ⭐ Plan for a dip in productivity - accept the reality is different instead of longing for the past, it’s better to acknowledge the disruption and plan around it ⭐ Look for the opportunities - in the new context some struggles, and potential improvements may be easier to spot than before The post is inspired by a recent article of Liz Fosslien, link available below. #leadership #change #teamenvironment

🚀 Just wrapped up two insightful days discussing a team survey on psychological safety with leaders. Here’s what surfaced: 1️⃣ Emotions vs. Behaviors: Leaders often address behaviors directly but hesitate to validate the emotions behind them. This "behavior bias" can unintentionally create a less safe space, undermining the very foundation of trust we aim to build for high performance. 2️⃣ Innovation vs. Overwhelming Change: In highly regulated environments, we may stifle possibilities by confusing bold ideas with disruptive changes. Innovation doesn’t always mean big—it can be small steps with big impact. Let's keep the door open to evaluating all possibilities, without the fear of overcommitment. 3️⃣ Culture, Team, and Individual Perspectives: How do we view issues? A favorite "lens" may cloud our judgment. Is it me, the leader? A challenging team member? Or the broader culture? Most often, it’s a blend. We need to understand, prioritize, and address the true core—don’t skip steps or let a preferred viewpoint guide your focus. These conversations reminded me: strong teams thrive on both clarity and curiosity and above all the strength of emotion intelligence. #Leadership #PsychologicalSafety #TeamCulture #Innovation #EmotionalIntelligence #TeamPerformance #ChangeManagement #GrowthMindset #InclusiveLeadership #TrustBuilding #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺—𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗜𝘁 ⚠️ Micromanaging is choking your team's potential, plain and simple. When leaders can’t trust their people to get the job done, everyone feels the strain. I get why it happens. Handing over control is scary, especially when the pressure’s on. But if leaders don’t back off, innovation stalls, employee growth flatlines, and your best people start looking for the door. So how do you fix it? 🛠️ Start Small with Delegation: Have your leaders delegate low-risk projects, with clear expectations and measurable milestones. This builds trust and helps leaders feel comfortable stepping back. 🛠️ Set Up Regular Coaching: Focus these sessions on building trust and letting go of control. Give your leaders the tools they need to oversee without smothering their teams. 🛠️ Get Real Feedback: Create an anonymous feedback loop where employees can call out micromanagement. Review the feedback with leaders so they can see the impact and adjust. When leaders trust their teams and stop hovering, employees thrive. You’ll see stronger performance, more innovation, and a healthier work culture. What’s your game plan for getting leaders to stop micromanaging? Drop your strategies below. Let's make leadership about trust, not control. ✨ #humanresources #leadership #management #innovation #communication #organizationalstrategy

Are you living like a pinball machine? Emails, notifications, pings—each one demanding a reaction, pushing us to respond instantly, just like a ball bouncing off the flippers in a pinball machine. Ever felt that pressure? The pull to respond as fast as you can, while juggling multiple things at once? It's easy to get caught in the frenzy, but here's a thought: 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬? In the workplace, this "pinball mentality" can affect decision-making, productivity, and even team dynamics. We react without thinking, driven by urgency rather than strategy. Yet, the most impactful leaders I've met aren't just fast: they're deliberate. They slow down to assess what truly deserves their energy and attention. So, I challenge you today: 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯? 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵? 📌

😓 Feeling overworked? You're not alone. Here's why... The #1 challenge for business owners and managers is getting people to get things done. It's the reason so many leaders are burning the candle at both ends. They're picking up slack, micromanaging, and doing tasks that should be delegated. However, the solution isn't working harder. It's working smarter. • Hire self-starters • Set clear expectations • Implement accountability measures • Recognize and reward results, not just effort Remember, your job as a leader isn't to do everything. It's to create an environment where everything gets done. If you're struggling with this, save this post for later. You'll need it. 🔖 #LeadershipTips #ProductivityHacks #BusinessManagement

"Emotions don't belong at work." Wrong! Let's talk about two key skills emotionally smart leaders use: 😎 Knowing Your Triggers: Ever feel your face get hot in a meeting? That's a clue. Great leaders spot these body signals. They know what pushes their buttons - like lazy coworkers or bossy managers. Instead of losing it, they use these moments to grow. 😎 Thinking Long-Term: When things get tough, okay leaders react. Top leaders respond. They ask: "What do I want here? What matters most?" This helps them make smart choices, even when feelings run high. Try this: Next time work gets stressful, take a breath and think, "What's my big-picture goal?"
