#Teams365 #776: Jo, the New Team Leader Leads a One-On-One

The art and science of coaching is a pre-requisite in leaders toolboxes today. Whether you are a team leader, division leader or a C-suite executive, being able to hold more effective conversations is critical.
In coaching, our focus is always on supporting those we are speaking with to get clearer on their goals, while getting into action and gaining new awareness

This new awareness could involve:

• discovering new options on how to get where you are going;
  
• identifying assumptions you are holding;
• identifying roadblocks;
• or stepping into a new perspective.
  

As a former team leader, and program manager myself, the time spent with my own team was invaluable in creating an engaged, performance culture.

As we start off this week, I wanted to share another Teams365 Cartoon with Jo, the new Team Leader. Here Jo sits down with team member Sujit for a one-on-one.

Activity:
Consider what you want to prepare in advance of your coaching conversations this week.
Take a look at Teams365 #473 which includes links to several past posts I have written on one-on-ones

Best wishes,
