Building Relationships
We spend a lot of time with our teams, but how well do you really know yours?
Strong relationships are key to successful teams. That doesn’t mean you have to be best friends with everyone you work with, but you should take time to understand who they are as a person and how they show up at work.
A great tool for understanding your team’s values, motivators, demotivators, and communication preferences is user-manuals.
As managers, we can’t use the same approach with each person we work with and expect for everyone to be productive, successful, and happy.
By taking time to share how you each tick, you can build a strong foundation for working together that will lead to a stronger relationship, and better success in reaching your goals.
Schedule a time to do this exercise with your team, we guarantee that it will be very illuminating.
