What if you could gain insight on how your employees work best?

  • Productive hours
  • Communication style
  • Feedback approach
  • Professional goals
  • Strengths
  • Personality types

Having a clear understanding of what motivates, concerns, overwhelms, or challenges your employees can make the difference in how you assign work, assemble your teams, and provide oversight. Assembling and leading high-performing teams can reduce turnover, increase productivity, and ultimately maximize growth for your organization.

But how do you find these details out quickly from the beginning?

In this episode we are looking at a tool called an Employee Manual that can be used by leaders to gain these insights. The tool is extremely configurable to meet your specific needs. I have even created a template that you can use to get you started.

With so much of our interactions online these days it is hard to notice some really bad behavior and habits out there.

Actions speak louder than words. Sounds a bit like a platitude but it really does ring true in many ways. As leaders, we must remember that our employees are always watching us to better understand how we think, what we want, and how they can meet and exceed our expectations.

View Details

As leaders we leverage different skills and wear many hats, one of the most powerful is the ability to embrace and promote change when needed. In this episode we discuss the importance of change management, how to maximize the outcome, and ensure your teams are still feeling supported.

View Details

As leaders it can be very challenging to cultivate teams that work well together and are highly successful in what they are assigned to do. We can face difficulties with personalities, varying skillsets or backgrounds, team members scattered over different locations, and the dynamics of multiple seniority levels.

In this episode, we'll walk through three key approaches that leaders can utilize to build the capabilities of their team to maximize their impact as a collective and individually. Whether you are a brand new team leader or you've been leading staff for decades, you can employ these practices in how you interact with your teams.

Successful teams are created with that success in mind and from the very beginning. It is so important to consider who you are adding to your team, their individual contributions, and how they will augment the team attitude.

Here’s a sneak peak at what we talked about today…

  • Strategic hiring
  • Employee investment is more than just monetary
  • Building ownership and employee investment in outcomes

Have you ever reached a goal, something you've been excited about reaching but once you achieved it you didn't feel as thrilled as you expected? Did you wonder why?

In this episode, we will be talking about how to be specific in setting goals to avoid reaching your objective but not feeling like you accomplished what you set out to do. Often there are subtle things we really are hoping for but go about them in the wrong way which can lead to feeling disappointed even if we reach our goal.

A few of the key tips you will learn are:

  • Being crystal clear and honest with yourself on what it is that you want
  • Setting goals to achieve what you really want rather than broader goals that might miss the mark
  • Celebrating each victory and allowing yourself to be proud of yourself in all of your progress.

Do you have a network within your organization? Are you actively working to grow and nurture those relationships? Today we are talking about how those relationships are a key element to your career success and ways you can build them.

For many the idea of networking can really bring on some pretty strong emotions...stress, overwhelm, confusion, frustration, and just plain old fear. It is definitely an element of our career planning that many put low on the priority list or save until absolutely necessary.

The fact of the matter is, that we really need to build our network slowly and carefully to make sure we are getting the most out of it that we can. And if it is falling off the list of things to do, if really needs to be a priority.

I hear those groans but I promise after listening to today's episode you'll have a clear understanding of why it is important and some simple ways that even the least social among us could handle.

Here’s a snapshot of a few things we talked about…

  • How Kelly's aversion and downright rebellion against networking cost her a promotion
  • Why getting to know others in your organization and in your leadership is critical to job advancement
  • Who you should be targeting if you want to maximize your impact with fewer people in your network
