We are joined by
Céline Williams Executive & Team Coach, founder of
Revisionary based in Toronto, Canada. We chat about Team Coaching, and remote working with some great tips for working in a hybrid future. What are leaders concentrating on in these challenging times? Who are the members in your 1st team?
- Constantly talking to people about holding a few thoughts in our minds at the same time - we are living in the “Grey”
- Transparency - let’s share all the information and make better decisions
- Opposition - If we think of opposition is here to think critically they should be the most valuable part of they system because that’s how we get better. Yet we’ve created a system where the opposition is just “plain wrong”
- Team Coaching provides so much more context and provides helpful perspectives in moving people along individually and collectively as a team
- Feedback - People have to be ready to receive it
- Remote working - awareness of other peoples individual remote environments
- Role of re-motional intelligence - what can I can control in a remote world when our assumptions are a thousand fold
- Setting better expectations of people, using ground rules and shared understanding of one another
- Asking better questions that are leading people away from your own assumptions is so useful
- The vortex of introspection; whilst it’s key to see what is happening to us, its where your growth edge is - you should make time to step out of this pattern
- On-line meetings have become an information dump, we are missing nuance, and need to be far more strategic
Céline's Leadership Essentials: (1:32)
1. Being more committed to my own growth than to my comfort; this is where we really see change
2. Critical thinking should be uncomfortable; if you’re constantly hearing what you want to hear, then that - is confirmation bias. What your hearing should not be reinforcing what you already think
3. Introspection is vital for leaders - they must understand their own patterns of behaviour. Importantly do not get stuck in introspection.
