All in Leadership
Often when the leader speaks first the team realizes it doesn’t matter what they say, the leader wants it done one way, theirs. As a team leader, I want input, open communication. I must be careful, however, not to speak first, but let others have input.
Reviews are a necessary part of any work organization where progress and growth are expected.
However, I have come to believe that the “end of the year” review is something that employees dread and are often detrimental to staff moral.
The job seemed simple. We had all the materials and detailed instructions, but after more than two hours the task had done us in.
In the work environment we can often either get lost focusing on the future or the immediate. To secure success we need a balance of both.
Earlier this year I made a job change when I accepted the position of Executive Pastor at Rivertree Church. Through the interview process I learned that one of the most important tasks of this 'new' position was to facilitate communication between and through all the leadership teams.
During the last two years I have been able to work with a couple of coaches, who have helped me, improve performance and meet goals. They are both great coaches. Observing these coaches has reminded me how to a better coach for my team as we set and meet goals and objectives together.
