We are hearing A LOT about how tough things are getting and, for our teams, the concerns about job security are real. When work is quiet, people can lose motivation as they focus on the cost of living pressures and inward on self-preservation. There are clear steps leaders can take to bring their teams through a downturn and in today’s episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee discuss how to deal with the anxiety a downturn in business can produce for our staff. We would love to hear from you about how you are dealing with this with your team. You can share your experiences and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/

With the run-up to the end of the financial year for many in Australia, and the recent intense cold that tells us Winter is really here, you may be finding that both you and your team are running low on motivation.

This isn’t uncommon but this year the layering of the global economic and political situations and the fact that fewer of us seem to be taking holidays and travelling to sunnier climes has certainly created a dip in motivation for a number of our client.

In this episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee discuss how to lead both yourself and your team out of this slump and how the power of language and the words we use can make a difference.

We would love to hear from you about how you approach this time of the year with your team, whether motivation seems low and, if so, how you deal with it as a leader. You can share your experiences and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/

Welcome to the Grow Your Influence podcast.

In today’s episode of Grow Your Influence, Kristy-Lee and Juliet are talking about something that they truly believe every leader needs to hear about–the promises we make to our people.

In this episode, Juliet and Kristy-Lee discuss the impact it has on our teams when we don’t follow through on the promises we make, and how this has a damaging effect on morale and our people’s commitment to us as leaders, their role and the organisation as a whole.

We also discuss the consequences of the very small promises that we make but fail to keep with our people because so often it is about the things that aren’t said but are understood–the psychological commitments that are made when we lead people.

How do you ensure you keep the promises and commitments you make to your people? We would love to hear from you. You can share your thoughts and ask questions at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/

In our discussion we talk about the signs that you might see that help you identify you’re your 2IC might be undermining you. We also unpack some of the reasons you may be experiencing this, and share the experiences we have working with teams where this has happened.

And finally we look at what you can do as a leader if you find yourself in a situation where you are being undermined by your 2IC.

Welcome to the Grow Your Influence podcast.

It is not uncommon to find ‘teams’ that are actually more a group of individuals working together but focusing on their own silos. In today’s episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee are discussing the difference between the two and how we can build a team if we realise we don’t actually have one.

When you have a group of high-performing individuals who are used to working autonomously, you are not getting any of the benefits of a team. You are probably seeing them focusing on their own goals and ‘running their own race’ and, as a leader, this can be both challenging and disheartening.

One of the keys to a team is trust and when this is missing it’s inevitable that people will work in their silos. The good news is that it takes focus in just a few areas to build trust and create a team. In this episode we discuss the three things you need to focus on to build your team and create benefits for all your team members that go far beyond productivity.

Have you taken on a team that wasn’t really a team?

Welcome to the Grow Your Influence podcast. In today’s episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee are discussing the concept of leading yourself.

In leadership circles, we talk a lot about leading others effectively, but we give little if any thought to leading ourselves. Yet the truth is, just like putting on your own oxygen mask first, you do need to start with leading yourself effectively.

Today we discuss what leading yourself involves and looks like. From self-awareness to selfcare and everything in between, join the discussion on leading yourself.
