“For me, success is not about the wins and losses. It’s about helping these young fellas be the best versions of themselves on and off the field.” -Ted Lasso
In this episode, Mandy and Stephanie share personal examples of being coached and coaching teams.
You will also hear an interview with Vivian Blade. Recognized as one of Engagedly’s Top 100 Global HR Influencers of 2021, Vivian is a sought-after leadership expert and thought leader. She works with the world’s top brands to build better, more resilient workplaces, equipping leaders to solve the pressing burnout, turnover, and workplace culture challenges your company is struggling with right now.
Vivian is the author of four books, most recently the Amazon #1 best-seller Resilience Ready: The Leader’s Guide to Thriving Through Unrelenting Crises, and Influence in Talent Development.
“We have to lead and engage differently. Gone are the days of dictating and telling people what to do. The old style of management. As we look at the research around engagement and what employees are looking for today, it is: ‘I have a manager who cares about me. I have team members who care about me. I’m in a better work environment.’ So we have to use our influence differently than dictating.”
With the tools from this episode’s conversation, you will be able to:
● Distinguish what it really means to be a coaching manager;
● Gain influence without authority;
● Impact the bottom line by focusing on the top line;
● Determine where you really need to be, so that you can empower your team members and provide opportunities for growth;
● Develop cultures of inclusion and authenticity with coaching and exposure for your direct reports.
And don’t miss our ONE THING TO TRY and WHAT YOU GOT IN THAT BAG prompts at the end! (Hint: Don’t miss out on those Zzzz’s!)
