This topic came up because a career coaching client of mine got a new job recently as a manager. She has a team of people that she inherited from the company. That means that she didn’t get to hire her own people; they were a team the company gave her to lead.
Now, she’s having some trouble with respect on her team. Some of her direct reports are questioning where she is, questioning her work ethic, and suggesting to her boss that she’s not available when they need her.
Guys, she’s around and working 10-12 hour days right now. So let’s get to the bottom of this.
First, I’d love to tell you that this is an easy fix, but it isn’t. This is going to take some time to fix.
It'll take time because gaining the respect of your team, whether you’re a manager or aspiring manager, is all about doing the job of a leader: building trust with your team members, leading them to a common goal, and making decisions that are understood and that improve the company.
But deeper than that, it all comes down to consistently showing that you care about your colleagues, customers, and company.
But HOW?? How do you do that??
