In many companies today there is a ‘blame culture’. Where groups or teams are frequently criticized or blamed, the result is a culture where people become reluctant to own their mistakes. It also means that people won’t be willing to take risks or speak out.
Psychological Safety for Teams
Psychological safety in the workplace is about providing a safe space for employees to be their full selves and not to feel that they will be punished or humiliated for expressing their opinion, ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes.
Navigating Change in a Fast-paced World
Change affects people in different ways, and the ability to lead well during these times will depend powerfully on your own EQ which will give you the awareness to lead with head and heart.
Execution as a driver for effectiveness
Execution is the ability to achieve strategic results by implementing effective tactics. Do your team members perceive they have the systems and structures to prioritize, efficiently accomplish tasks, and achieve results? Or is their energy wasted, lots of waving arms without real movement forward?
Start with Trust
Trust is that invisible force that makes things feel just right, and as we all know, trust is at the core of all relationships whether at home or at work and without it the relationship takes a lot of strain. With trust in your workplace teams are more productive, meetings run efficiently, and you work with autonomy, however when trust is running low, especially during times of change, everyone has an eye on the exit.
The Vital Signs Tool Set
Practical emotional intelligence starts with observing how you feel and behave to create awareness. This then allows you to take responsibility for both your feelings and behaviour to create a more positive impact on all areas of your life. From here you are then able to practice responding rather than reacting which assists in practicing empathy with yourself and others.
