Overcoming Your Inner Critic - Josh Linkner - 5 views

  •  
    "Stop pushing yourself," your angry four-inch tall shoulder-Devil whispers in your ear. "Let's blow off the day and hang on the couch. You'll never amount to much anyway." We all have that inner voice - the negative one that whispers fear, guilt, and laziness into our ears.
  •  
    Overcoming your critics is really really tough. But increasing self esteem and diminishing the negatively can have positive impact on the this. We all have the inner conscience and listening and understanding this requires lot of self control. https://is.gd/mXPDfA

Coaching an Employee Whose Behavior Seems Incurable - 1 views

  •  
    How do you coach an employee who seems beyond help? Maybe the person is arrogant, is tactlessly blunt, or lacks empathy. Sometimes you actually can't help them - but it may be that their behavior is misunderstood or misdiagnosed. To make sure you have an accurate view of the person, check your assumptions and judgments. Look beyond the obvious symptoms and think about what might underlie their destructive behavior. Observe patterns and notice when there are breaks in those patterns; these deviations can provide important clues.

Brene Brown, vulnerability and leadership - 2 views

  •  
    As a CEO or leader, it's important to remember that your people usually know if something is not working. They just want to know whether you have the courage to tell them. By stepping up and being vulnerable you create a space that will allow your organization to get to the next level.

Boost Your Emotional Intelligence with These 3 Questions - 3 views

  •  
    In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve - and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.

    To that end, start by asking yourself three questions:

    "Tell me about your career goals." How often have you said this to a person you're managing or mentoring, only to get a blank stare in return? Perhaps the person confides that they don't know what their goals should be, or even whether there are opportunities to advance at your company. How do you begin to provide support?

Michael Hyatt's Intention... - 2 views

    Once employees know they're being approached about their work with respect-but also with consistently high expectations-they're likely to develop a comfortable, professional relationship with you, their manager.

Why the Most Productive People Don't Always Make the Best Managers - 3 views

  •  
    These competencies all leverage individual skills and individual effectiveness. They are valued skills and make people more productive, but all except for the last one (collaboration) focus on the individual rather than the team. When we went back to our data, the skills that our analysis identified as making a great manager are much more other-focused:

Good Feedback Is Based on Facts, Not Your Opinion - 2 views

  •  
    When you're asked to give feedback on a fellow employee, you want it to be useful. But unless you connect it to what matters to them - and separate it from your personal beliefs and preferences - they won't be able to act on it. Emphasize facts, not interpretations.

To Change Someone's Mind, Stop Talking and Listen - 2 views

  •  
    What Samar did was to ask people to share their perspective, without trying to convince them of hers. It sounds like something for a movie script, not necessarily practical advice for business leaders. But maybe it should be.

Leading Blog: A Leadership Blog: The Power of Vulnerability - 3 views

  •  
    Part of what makes it work is that when we get behind the façades that we habitually put up, we begin to understand others better-their motivations, values, and beliefs. As we better understand what is going on inside of us, we will better understand what is going on inside of others and take their comments and behaviors less personally. We will begin to understand their points of view more completely. It generates respect and a willingness to share points of view that can strengthen the group as a whole.

What Can You Delegate Today? - 2 views

  •  
    Many of us know the benefits of delegation: It helps teams share the workload so that managers focus on the work only they can do. But in reality, you (like most managers) probably hoard tasks and become a bottleneck. To fix that, start with baby steps. Ask yourself regularly, even daily: "What can I, and only I, do?" If a certain task could be done by someone else, maybe it should be. Try to delegate small tasks that add up to something bigger, or projects that are relatively simple. Also consider time-sensitive work that competes with your other priorities. If you're still struggling to delegate, try this: For two weeks, make a list of tasks that you might delegate, writing them down as you think of them. This exercise will get you one step closer to handing off the work you need to.

Don't Solve Your Team's Problems for Them - 4 views

  •  
    If your team is constantly bringing issues to you rather than addressing them on their own, you aren't doing your job as a manager. So only let problems get escalated to you thoughtfully and occasionally. To make sure you're not stepping in when you shouldn't, ask yourself several questions.

How to be a better manager - 5 views

  •  
    When managers focus on strengths, it gives people an opportunity to do what they do best every day. Gallup's research shows that when people use their strengths they perform better at work, have more energy, are more likely to achieve their goals, have more confidence, have higher engagement levels and are more effective at developing themselves and growing as individuals.
