A useful activity for team leaders (both new and seasoned) to undertake is to consider what each team member wants, and needs, from you in terms of:
- Communication (mode, frequency, amount)
- Support - in general, and when learning new tasks
- Direction
- Feedback
- Recognition
One of the tools which I often use with new managers and leaders to gain this greater awareness is the Everything DiSC® Management profile. You can learn more about the Profile here. You will also want to view the video that brings this topic to life.
With best wishes,
