Leadership Tip #1 - Your Team & You

Today's tip is centering around your team and you. What are you without your team?

Nothing.

In this case, the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

But how you communicate with them will help dictate how your team functions.

Tip for today - 8-16-10:

Remember your team is made up of PEOPLE. Just like you, they have outside forces that will occasionally impede on their ability to function as an effective team member. Before you provide feedback on performance, take a moment to ascertain (within HR reason) if something is happening outside your office doors that is having a direct effect on their ability to work. You'd be amazed how much harder for you they will perform if you work with them during tough times.

Until next time,

Dena.
