One of the most persistent and complex challenges that leaders face is motivating people to perform at their highest level, even in difficult or unpredictable circumstances.
Being an effective leader transcends mere authority; it demands a deep comprehension of the ripple effect one’s presence & impact has on team dynamics.

This month we are focusing on the power of feedback to improve individual performance, to surface our relationship to feedback, and to identify potential barriers that hold us back from using feedback to be a more effective leader.

Back in 2018, we wrote a short paper called Are You Stuck (5 min read), looking at self-awareness and how it impedes your ability to be in action. This is more prevalent today as demands for performance and results are at an all-time high, requiring more recovery.
This month we want to look at leading others that are stuck.
This month we are focusing on Performance and how Leadership plays a critical role in its success.
Leadership is the most important ingredient to increase the performance of any organization.

Leadership and performance go hand in hand with trust. The more leaders both demand and demonstrate their trustworthiness by being sincere, competent, reliable, and involved, the better results they will see from employee performance.

Have an Awesome Month Leading with Impact!
Great leaders understand the importance of team meetings, the impact on culture, productivity and the understanding that producing a great meeting takes intentional design and deliberate effort.
Why it matters
An effective team meeting helps teams align on the topics of discussion, air any concerns or obstacles, and have clarity on future actions.
This is fundamental in creating your High Performing Culture.
Leadership Insights
Improving the effectiveness of team meetings is one of the most important things a manager can do as a leader. It’s surprising how many managers are proud to proclaim their dislike of meetings, but to generate action, achieve significant results, solve problems, make decisions, inform, inspire, collaborate, and motivate, managers need to work with their people!
Leadership Strategy
Don’t delegate the agenda planning to another team member. As the leader, it’s your meeting to design and run. To put yourself in the proper frame of mind, ask and answer the following question:
1. What kind of meeting is it? (i.e.: Check-in, strategic etc.)
2. After this meeting are actions being generated?
3. Are my team members clear about how to collaborate well to get the results we are looking to co-create?

Have an Awesome month leader!
Every day you hustle to get things done and you plan out what you’re going to do and when. Add on tackling unexpected and new tasks, never losing focus on where you are going. All of this is good because planning helps you achieve your goals. But how often do you take the time to step back and reflect on what happened? Or “watch the game film” as sport teams and athletes do?
There is as much to learn from what you do well as in what mistakes you made and the problems you encountered. Accomplishments and “breakdowns” are learning opportunities if you take the time to practice noticing, reflecting, and contemplating to strengthen your mental muscle to “See More”.
“To transform your business begins with transforming yourself. Why, because to grow your business you don’t need to do more you need to learn to see more to see the gaps to support change, to grow.” Tony Zampella, Bhavana Learning Group
Identifying gaps starts with developing a practice of “Daily reflection”. Start off simple, when finishing off your day, take 15 minutes to reflect by writing down a couple of things that went well and a couple that didn’t. From here we can look for gaps and create a plan to improve performance.
