"I don't have time.”
Time to give feedback. Time to clarify a misunderstanding. Time to ask questions or listen to a question rather than assume. Time to explore my impact and influence on those around me.
Reality is you can't afford not to create time. The cost is too high.
As a leader the awareness and attention to your own habits sets the foundation in creating the workplace culture [and influences every relationship you have]. Do your “go to” habits elevate and engage the people on your team and the people you desire to invite into the organization? Or do your habits default to reactive responses that will sabotage the very progress the organization is setting out to achieve?
This isn't solo work. Understanding your strengths, utilizing solution focused strategies in your leadership is a specific next step that could be transformational for you and those you lead.
Ready to explore awareness and attention? Ready for a reset, reframe or refuel as you lead?
Those you lead may be asking the same thing…just not directly to you. Here's an opportunity to impact the livability of those you lead!
PS This organizational culture work is collective. From the individual board members, CEO to every team member. Every person regardless of position and platform in an organization contributes to the culture through their habits. However, without top leadership leading the awareness and attention, the work done by others will be stifled and ultimately sabotaged.
