Learning how to manage people is a demanding process that requires commitment and dedication. While delegation may seem like an easy way out, as a leader, it's crucial to invest time and effort into developing your people management skills. Remember, managing people is not just about delegating tasks, but also about building trust, fostering collaboration, and creating a positive work environment. Take charge of your team, invest time in building relationships, and cultivate a positive work culture that drives success. #leadership #management #teamwork

I couldn’t agree more with the idea that a true open-door policy fosters trust and engagement in the workplace. When employees feel safe delivering both good and bad news, you unlock their full potential. This post is a great reminder of how communication and leadership go hand in hand! #Leadership #TeamDevelopment #WorkplaceCulture

🕑 In coaching and working with emerging leaders, one of the most common questions is, "How should I manage my time"? Over time, I've realized that there are three elements to effective time management. First, you need to work on managing your attention and energy. To start to understand how to do this. Ask yourself what drives you to do less critical tasks? As Oliver Burkeman says, "Distractions are just ways of avoiding discomfort, not hearing what might hurt us, or avoiding recognizing that what we might do is limiting and might not be very good". When you understand what drives your attention, think about when you work best and have the most focus. Schedule your critical tasks for those periods. Second, prioritize your work and attention. Being able to focus your attention only works if you know what you will and will not do. Tools for planning are simply that: tools. They provide a foundation for deciding what you must and will not do. Finally, set a schedule. In its most basic form, a timetable "is your day and week chunked into blocks of time for specified activities." The key to sticking to a schedule is to be firm and include all your personal and work activities and tasks. The more you use it, the more you'll notice which tasks take longer and which take less time. 👉 Look at the blog to learn more and find additional tools: https://buff.ly/3w2ukTm. #timemanagement #leadershipcoaching #leadership #newleaders #management #time #coaching

Executive coaching is effective for all levels! I recently worked with Sarah, an experienced leader who unintentionally created an environment where her team felt like they were walking on eggshells when delivering bad news. Communication had broken down, and her team's engagement and productivity declined. Through our targeted coaching work together, Sarah realized that leadership is not just about giving directives but about creating an environment where people feel safe communicating openly—even when it involves bad news. Together, we enhanced her listening skills, fostered non-defensiveness, and established an open-door policy where team members could speak their minds without fear of repercussions. The results? Her team felt valued, their engagement and productivity increased, and communication channels reopened. The ability to safely deliver bad news and openly share feedback became a cornerstone of her team's renewed success. My research on what influences feeling valued at work shows that employees are more engaged when they feel safe delivering bad news without fear of repercussions. Leadership that encourages open communication and non-defensiveness is critical to creating a work environment where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered. Is your team holding back? Let’s break down those barriers and redefine your leadership approach. Ready to lead with openness and impact? Let’s connect! #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveCoaching #Communication #teamdevelopment #employeeengagement

Here are several questions I'd like to challenge you to consider, honestly: Are you grappling with passive-aggressive behaviour that's disrupting team dynamics? Have you been feeling the strain of unresolved conflicts simmering in the workplace? Are you experiencing misunderstandings that hinder trust, productivity, and collaboration? Have you been struggling to address team players who consistently fall short of expectations? Are you finding it difficult to communicate with a specific direct report? If any of these challenges resonate with you, it's time to harness the power of coaching. Our recent Coaching Leadership Masterclass left leaders feeling equipped to tackle these issues head-on.

Just wrapped up the game-changing course "Managing Organizational Change for Managers"! 🚀 Throughout the course, several key takeaways and thought-provoking statements have challenged traditional perspectives on change management. Among these are the following: 1. Emotional Engagement: Recognize the power of emotions in driving action during change processes. 2. Harnessing Dual Forces: Utilize both "heat" and "light" to ignite emotional momentum and provide clarity in communication. 3. Language Impact: Mindfully choose words to shape perceptions and cultivate a supportive atmosphere conducive to change. 4. trust is the foundation: building trust involves keeping promises, being authentic, and being transparent. 5. emotions in change: manage emotions to prevent them from undermining change; reset and choose positive emotions. 6. leading teams through change: explain why change is necessary, involve the team in problem-solving, communicate clearly, assess progress, and reinforce commitment. 7. language matters: use words thoughtfully, maintain a high ratio of positive to negative feedback, ask questions, and give specific praise. 8. overcome the relay race of change: be realistic, slow down to manage change effectively, and respect the need for people to understand and adapt to new ideas. #organizationalchangemanagement #Leadership #TeamManagement #EffectiveLeadership #ProfessionalDevelopment

Are you giving your leaders the tools they need to lead effectively? Did you know that only 48% of managers strongly agree they currently have the skills needed to be exceptional at their job? We've all witnessed this: There is a team member who excels at their job and possesses all the necessary skills for the tasks at hand. Recognising their abilities, they are promoted to a leadership position where they now oversee the team responsible for their previous tasks. While they possess excellent subject/technical knowledge, they have never received formal training in leadership. The consequence of promoting someone without providing them with adequate leadership training is that they may struggle to effectively manage their team. This can lead to issues such as poor communication, lack of direction, decreased morale, and ultimately, lower productivity and performance within the team. Additionally, the promoted individual may feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the demands of their new role, potentially leading to burnout or disengagement. To effectively lead teams, individuals need to be given the necessary training to do so. For example, they need to understand how to create an engaged and motivated workforce, while also promoting well-being among their team. Without this knowledge, a team will never perform optimally and will fail to thrive. This is where we step in.

The programme dove deep into the art of balancing - not just projects and deadlines, but also the flexibility, empathy, and well-being that us as individuals and our team members rightfully deserve. It was an enlightening course that equipped me with some really interesting tools and insights and the opportunity to share experiences with likeminded professionals in different industries which was invaluable. What did I explore? Here's a snapshot: 🔍 The Hard and Soft Manager: Striking the perfect balance between strength and sensitivity. 🔍 Forensic Coaching: Delving deep to uncover the underlying drivers of performance. 🔍 Creating Empowerment: Cultivating an environment where all team members can reach their full potential. I'm eager to apply these insights and strategies into my role moving forward, with some new tools and techniques. A heartfelt thank you to our incredible tutor Catherine Nicholson and my fellow programme participants who shared this journey with me. The diversity of thought and collaboration has left an indelible mark. Here's to the next step in our collective leadership evolution, where we don't just coach but hopefully truly empower, inspire people and share what we have learnt with our organisation. 🌈 #EmpatheticLeadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #Empowerment #LifeLongLearning #squeezedmanager
