When the pressure builds, how you react, and how you project those stressful emotions can impact your team. Pressure can create a hot potato that you might toss to someone else (either intentionally or unintentionally) who doesn’t have the tools or ability to do anything with that hot potato.
Since we all know that the pressure at work will eventually grow, proactively preparing ahead of time by knowing what your team members’ Strengths are can assist you in healthfully managing pressure with your team to navigate those inevitable stressors better.
We invite you to join our podcast today because we know you’ll feel pressure in the future - if you’re not feeling it at this exact moment - and we want to encourage you with practical tools you can use to create a healthy emotional environment no matter the stressful circumstances around you and your team. It’s time to set that hot potato down.
At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.
CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to tara@aligntransform.com.
