Leading Beyond Any Title – How to Lead When the Leading Gets Tough
Manage episode 432863317 series 3509166
When things are going well, leadership can seem easy, and focusing on developing leadership skills can also seem like a nice thing to do.
However, leading when times are tough… when a team is not performing as expected – the number isn’t being hit, the results are being generated, collaboration and communication are failing… can be a different thing. Leadership development during these times can seem like a luxury one cannot afford to take time for.
Leading a struggling team is never fun, but paying attention to leadership basics – remain positive, take care of yourself first, check the reality of the situation, diagnose what the cause is, and enrolling your team in determining next steps – are all critically important leadership skills that this episode covers.
