Being too helpful has little to do with how much you help. You can help your team a bit or you can go all out to help the team be better and do better. Being too helpful happens when you don’t balance enough against the help you provide. I explain 3 ways to stop your team taking advantage of you and potentially create powerful team performance. Helping your team get better and realise more of their potential is one of the best ways to get more from teams. Serving your team is a vital part of any manager or leadership role IF you want to get great performance while really motivating teams. Secondly, managers stop trying to be liked! Your job is not to win friends or boost your ego. Your key job is to support and direct the team to INCREASE team performance. Of course you need to build connections, to be relatable, to be empathetic and to be authentic. You should not be looking to make friends because doing so will make it a lot harder for you to make the necessary tough decisions and unpopular choices. Stop being taken advantage of at work. Instead, aim to be respected. Being respected is a direct outcome of doing a good job as a manager. The more respect you get, the better you are doing your job! Finally, demand more by providing more. This is crucial to get amazing team results. If you don’t demand much from your team, it is unlikely you will get anywhere near goals set, let alone smash them. I share 7 example practical actions that you can put into practice quickly to balance demanding more from your team, so you get the best team performance possible. If you have any questions on “Get Amazing Team Results: Balance Being Helpful With Being Demanding”, please email me at [email protected] and I will get back to you. Jess Coles Enhance.training
