Love Your People: Develop Your Team
15th July, 2015
Love is:
Love is… an attitude with relevance both at home and in work. Once we let our ego get out of our way it can be hugely beneficial to invest in some leadership development to find new ways to be even more effective than we already are and to ensure we demonstrate compassion for our teams.
- How much do you love your team?
- Are you taking appropriate care when you recruit to ensure you attract people that you will love working with?
- Once people have joined our team how honest are you being with them when managing their performance and are you paying attention to their development and motivation needs?
- How important is it to you that they love what they do, where they work and care about people they work with?
- How are you looking after them to ensure they feel equipped to consistently drive results for you and demonstrate their loyalty to your business and your clients through the actions they take daily.
- Are you being compassionate and realistic with yourself as Leaders or are there areas of Leadership support you would value assistance with?
Why Seek External Guidance?
You may be thinking – but I am an experienced manager and leader… I don’t need help.
The leaders we contract with recognise that there attention is split between the day to day needs of the business and the future growth of their organisation. It is precisely the fact that they do have some experience, that leads them to seek expert assistance in relation to continual professional development (CPD).
Coaching, mentoring and training can increase productivity and efficiency, drive sales and improve the chance of survival and sustainable growth within changing economic times. Did you know:
- 75% of employers recruit unsuccessfully costing the UK economy £12bn per year. Inexperience is a major factor within poor recruitment and retention results.
