Frugal Athlete Quote
"Invest in a Product or Invest in a Person"
Lyle Adams Frugal Athlete Tips:
- Avoid distractions during 1:1s and team meetings. If you are distracted or on your laptop/cell, it appears that you are not interested in who is presenting and you don't value them. I took all my 1:1s out of the office to ensure that I was 100% focused on the individual.
- Team Meetings: encourage everyone to share during team meetings to create a positive environment for feedback and inclusion
- Everyone perceives things differently: you might not favor anyone more than other person but if you move always ask to reschedule XX's 1:1 and never reschedule YY's 1:1, XX might perceive that you like YY more. Be careful of what you say or type. I stopped typing 'hey guys' in emails and used 'hey team' or 'hey folks'.
- Always ask open-ended questions to encourage discussion. Can you explain this in more detail? Can you share your logic or why you believe this will be successful? Avoid "Yes" "No" questions.
- Whenever possible play the role of devil's advocate; you want your team to be able to defend or justify their work. You might not agree with their plan but you have to let them try and fail as a teaching point.
- It's okay to make mistakes. When you make a mistake, acknowledge this mistake and say it won't happen again. You are also a person and will make mistakes. Sadly, everyone makes a management mistake early in their careers.
- Never become a blocker for someone. I traditionally responded to my team's emails and questions first then respond to everyone else (including my boss). If you cannot respond in a reasonable time frame, set a fair expectation with them.
