Empowering Personal Growth to Drive High-Functioning Teams

In this series we will share tips on how to give your teams the ability to tie their personal growth directly to your company strategy and cultural values. Improve how you work together, communicate more effectively, perform better, serve your customers better, and respond quickly to change. Some may say that team development happens automatically; discovering who is good at what and how to work best together, having fun, disagreeing, and having fierce discussions are all part of the work environment.

Psychological Safety

How do you create and support a thriving culture in your team? And most important, how do you create a culture that maximizes performance and effectiveness while keeping your team mentally healthy and happy? My top recommendation around how to create an effective culture is a concept called Psychological Safety. What makes a team effective? Psychological Safety came to light with research at Google.

Google did a deep-dive in their own teams across a pretty large data set that asks the question what makes a team effective. In their research, they found that it wasn't a particular skill set and wasn't a particular background or education that made the difference; actually ‘The Who’, that constituted a team, wasn't part of the conversation at all. But what did make an impact is how they interacted. What they found was that this one concept Psychological Safety made all the difference in whether or not a team is able to be high performing.

Google researchers findings, Code-named Project Aristotle - a tribute to Aristotle’s quote, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" (as the Google researchers believed employees can do more working together than alone) - the goal was to answer the question: "What makes a team effective at Google?"

Situational Leadership

Let's talk about leadership styles. When I started my role as a manager moving into leadership, I thought I had one particular type of leadership style. What I quickly ran into was a realization that my leadership style was great for certain circumstances, but was actually quite lacking when situations changed, and maybe I didn't quite foresee that. This observation came up when I had a really high performing individual who found himself in a new role and my hands-off leadership style with a lot of encouragement wasn't the right fit at the right time.

And so my journey in that particular lesson took me to discovering Situational Leadership Theory. This leadership theory changes the question of who am I? How do I lead? Who is the person in front of me and much more. This is where I began to use the framework for Situational Leadership Theory. So let's walk through the 4 quadrants that talk about how we engage both from a management perspective around the day to day tasks and also how much support do we provide an individual.

Square Breathing

Have you ever found yourself in a meeting that is causing you so much stress or anxiety and it's building up pressure for you in such a way that you're not able to show up as your best self. Maybe you need to give some really critical feedback to somebody and you're getting really anxious about it. Maybe there's tension or an argument happening with the people on a call; and you need to keep a level head in what is a quickly escalating situation. In times like this, what should you do? I use a breathing technique called Square Breathing. Let's take a look at how to breathe and stay calm and improve your concentration in extremely tense situations.

Feedback Dial

What happens if you are putting someone on a PIP or maybe it's coming to a termination? During the conversation- the person is surprised with the feedback. This is obviously a situation you really want to avoid because it's not good for the receiver and it's not great to be on the giving end of the conversation to find that you're catching someone off guard. In this video I will discuss how to avoid a situation like this and what are some tools that we can actually use to make the conversation tenable for both parties.

Hiring for DEI

Hiring for diversity and diverse candidates in our organization is more critical today than ever. And so when we think about hiring in general, there's usually three factors that come into play here. The speed with which we need to fill the role, the seniority, and the experience of the person who we're looking for and the third is the diversity aspect of it.

Skill Stacking

This is not a new concept and is not brought up in the concept of career development and career growth. This is an approach to learning a series of new skills that are often unrelated and combined to make you more efficient and valuable. Skill Staking goes against the grain of how we may have been mentored which says, you become hyper-focused and cultivate one skill as a path to success. We are taught be the best at one thing; but what Skill Stacking career advice attempts to do is convince us that strategically you're better off building a web of interconnected skills that you're decent at and build them on top of each other so that makes you exceptional but in a broad perspective.

Giving Feedback

Giving feedback whether in leadership management or in life, it is really important to be able to communicate difficult messages gracefully and well so that the receiver can be able to learn from them and up level their skills. We often see that the discussion goes very poorly primarily for two different reasons. There are two different traps of feedback. The first is that the feedback can be too indirect and soft and what happens when and if the brain doesn't recognize that feedback is even being given which the opposite of the situation. The other is a when the feedback Giver is too direct and lets the receiving person feel quite defensive and have their guards go up which makes the whole conversation moves in a different direction. Both scenarios ends in an unsuccessful dialogue for the giver and the receiver.

Chief of Staff to CISO, Healthcare and Biotech Industry
