As a business, leadership, and management coach, this is one of the questions I get asked the most…
I have spent lots of time with my clients helping them to improve their leadership skills and team relationships. In fact, I’d say it’s one of the most important areas for any leader to reflect on! So, today, I thought I’d share some pretty universal advice for all leaders out there… Running a business and leading a team can be hard work. For many, it can come with long hours, a lack of balance, and endless cashflow stress, too!
Today, I wanted to point to the glowing light at the end of the tunnel…💡 Did you know that building and running a business doesn’t need to be painful? In fact, it can be rewarding, exciting, and dare I say, enjoyable! Here’s some quick and digestible advice for how you can start building a business and leading a team in a way that brings you joy, rather than bringing you stress! I get it, being a leader is not easy. There is always something more to think about… Team, growth, cashflow, profit, ethos… The list goes on!
As a business, leadership and management coach, over the past nearly 2 decades, I have spent much time with my clients helping them to gain clarity of what areas of their business need more focus. Clarity can make so much difference, so I thought I would offer you some advice today which may help clear things up your end, too… So, what are my top 3 areas of focus for leaders right now? For me, self-awareness is critical. Why?
Because whether you’re a CEO, MD, or manager, you’re leading a team of people who will respond to you and your leadership style, communication style, and general way of being! So, in order to lead a team built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and positive culture, which in turn will lead to success, productivity, efficiency, and growth, you need to know as much as possible about yourself! “How can I be more self-aware?!” I hear you cry! 🗣️ Here are just a few of my tips for improving your self-awareness, to help you improve as a leader… As a business, leadership and management coach, I regularly work with everyone from CEOs, MDs and managers to business owners and entrepreneurs, to help them to lead with confidence, congruence, and integrity…
Within my coaching programmes, I often find myself sharing similar advice with many of my clients, so I thought I’d share some of those nuggets today! 😊 Over the past few years, you may have heard the term “outsourcing” being used more and more, but some leaders are not really aware of the difference it can make. Many organisations, especially smaller ones, assume that outsourcing it only for the big corporates.
Outsourcing is very similar to delegating… Ultimately, it’s getting someone else who is better suited and skilled at a certain task to complete it, rather than you! (Usually in half the time!) What is the difference between outsourcing and delegating? The truth is, very little! The only major difference is that outsourcing means to ask a professional outside of the business to undertake the task. For example… Are you an 'introverted' new manager?
Moving into a new management role can be difficult at the best of times but especially so for introverts. Here are a few ideas that may help you thrive... 1. A plan for energy management: Introverts may find leadership draining at times due to soooo many social interactions. It's crucial to schedule downtime for recharging and self-care. Don't have an open door policy! Delegation is a fundamental skill in both personal and professional life, yet, for many, the act of delegating is accompanied by a nagging sense of guilt. Usually that you should be able to do it yourself or your team are too busy.
If you are a leader of a team or a business, here are a few good reasons why you SHOULD learn to delegate properly... Now there's a question! I'd like to answer with a 100% yes to this question but sadly there are STILL many businesses and organisations that frown upon this and their managers often feel the need to project strength and confidence at all times. However, showing vulnerability can be a powerful tool in building trust, fostering teamwork, and inspiring growth.
Let's explore how embracing vulnerability can elevate our leadership: |
