Everyone is unique, therefore the management style in terms of how you work with each team member has to be different and totally aligned to what the individual needs to ensure they are hitting the requirements of the business – both currently and for the future.
Having honest and focused conversations is essential for your individual team members to thrive. Building the rapport and relationship where mutual trust and vulnerability exists has to be the norm. From knowing and understanding your people, you can then work with them to help them to be their best – pushing and challenging in a positive and safe environment.
This is the essential piece which is often overlooked as too ‘soft’ but is actually the critical area which avoids stress, burn out and demotivation. By knowing and focusing you ensure your people are working on the key areas for the business, by providing the care you ensure that the support is there even in tough times – whether at work, home or in their personal life - it’s a mutual give/give relationship.
As a manger and leader you are responsible for inspiring your teams, pulling all of the other principles together you can take it to the next level, getting the absolute most out of your people, uncovering and working with their potential, and helping them to be their absolute best.
