1. You are actively engaged
You know that the engagement of your team starts with your own engagement and that an individual approach, has to be strengths-based and future-oriented.
For you, it is not a surprise that the variance of engagement of your team is due to 70% of your own involvement.
You know your own strengths and limitations, you focus on using al the talent in the team and maximize their potential. You are aware that a team member is not well rounded. The great team is well rounded, precisely because each team member is not. Clearly, you see that they will be..
the most resilient, most creative, and most open to learning in their areas of greatest strengths.
You do almost daily a check in to discover the needs of your team members and help them prioritize and overcome barriers. You have their back, and they trust you as a leader. You are accessible and interested in their (daily) work because you care about your team members. Not micromanaging but being involved in their lives and well being. This is how you continually coach and can give meaningful feedback. Your gut feeling knows that when managers provide daily feedback (versus annual feedback), their employees are:
6.0 times more likely to strongly agree that they receive meaningful feedback
3.6 times more likely to agree that they are motivated to do outstanding work
3.0 times more likely to be engaged at work
4. You hold your team accountable in an inspiring and motivating way!
You do challenge your team members’ performance by inspiring them to pursue meaningful goals that are appropriate for their abilities and resources. You take your team member’s development needs as seriously as their performance objectives. You give each member a specific role in the team based on their strengths, and you hold them up to it. You also challenge the collective team regularly to reconnect and take action to pursue the team and company goals.
5. You create clear expectations about their roles and (company)future!
Future-oriented coaching is an essential part of your development approach. You support and guide your employee’s growth by setting explicit expectations, attention, and clear insights on their strengths (blindspots). Your ongoing performance conversations are focused on how your team members can grow in their role and long-term career. You probably know by experience that ..
the number one reason why employees leave their company, his frustrations with career progress.
