New Team Leaders Beware:
Build Trust
Have the courage to acknowledge your own humanness
Go to basics-teach your team how to put spirit in the driver’s seat & ego in the passenger’s seat.
Whether spirit or ego is in the driver’s seat can depend upon how safe we feel.
Spirit-A Core Leadership Competence
A flame goes out when:
We rely on the power of past performanceWe stay within the comfort zoneWe will not embrace the present moment
Burn-out :when passion for a subject and compassion for a person is out of balance
What Hurts Motivation?
Confront or CondoneIf someone isn’t playing by the rules and we
don’t confront it, we condone it.If something isn’t going well, address it.Our actions affect climate and credibility,
health and stress.
It’s all in the HOW.
The Heart of the Matter
“By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever
harmed his stomach.”
Winston Churchill
