🌟 Enjoy a special preview of this month’s call replay!
We’re sharing an 6-minute snippet to give our free subscribers a taste of the rich discussions we have and some timely insights for this season.
As the end of the year approaches, intensity ramps up, and teams can easily fall out of alignment. Remember, emotional contagion is real — your energy can have a significant impact, positively or negatively, on your team. It’s crucial to focus on alignment over rigid plans and be mindful of how our energy influences those around us.
During this month’s Office Hours, we explored strategies for managing the "end-of-year sprint" without overwhelming your team, including recalibrating plans, keeping alignment, and maintaining a healthy balance of intensity and clarity.
Topics discussed:
Maintain alignment and energy — How to manage emotional contagion and keep your team aligned during the intense end-of-year period.
Navigating power dynamics — Influence change effectively by leveraging both formal and informal power when institutional authority is lacking.
Encourage initiative — Use the "no toes" rule to foster initiative during the early stages of team formation.
Collaborative roles and responsibilities conversations — Engage your team in productive discussions about roles, tasks, and growth opportunities.
Balancing mission and team needs — How to align your organization’s mission and values with the diverse needs and perspectives of individual team members.
Transparency and boundaries in compensation — Maintain clarity and fairness when discussing compensation while respecting necessary boundaries.
