One of the things I have noticed is that the best leaders look like they are doing nothing. They look like they are doing nothing because they take their time and spend their time making sure that everybody on their team has what they need to be successful. #talent #leadership

If you are a leader and you are avoiding conflict in your team, it does not mean the conflict goes away. It means the people that report to you and the people that work for you are having to deal with the conflict that you are not dealing with. #leadership #conflict

As a leader, it is important to understand that your people are not you. The things that helped you be successful are not necessarily the things that are going to help your people be successful. #leadership #talent

We tend to think about leadership as a privilege and reward. Start thinking about leadership as a responsibility. Leadership is not about what your people can do for you. It is about how you help your people be effective, removing obstacles, providing resources, & accountability. #leadership #talent

There’s an amazing error known as the fundamental attribution error. This error states that when we do something that is wrong or bad, we attribute it to contextual things. But when somebody else does something bad or wrong, we attribute it to mean something about them. #errors #leadership #talent

One easy tip for improving engagement for your people is simply to talk about them behind their back. When somebody that works for you or works with you does something that you think is amazing, tell somebody else about it. #leadership #tips #talent

Last time, I was talking about the importance of positive reinforcement. Actually ran into a real world example of this recently. I had to get a root canal retreated. Now I don’t recommend that you do this recreationally, but of course sometimes it’s actually needed. #leadership #talent

When we talk about the importance of feedback, we are often talking about the importance of critical or developmental feedback, but you can’t ever forget how critical it is to give somebody positive feedback as well. #accountability #praise #feedback #talent #leadership

Continuing our discussion on the power of self-efficacy, the Pygmalion effect has a companion effect: the Galatea effect. And the Galatea effect is all about how when you believe in yourself, you are more effective and your performance is better. #leadership #selfefficacy #talent

In my field, there’s something that’s called the Pygmalion effect. This effect doesn’t generalize in all situations and in all contexts, but it highlights how critical it is for us to see the best in other people, which has really profound implications for leadership. #leadership #efficacy #talent

One barrier I see to effective leadership is leaders often just do. When a task comes in, ask yourself, does it need to be me that does this? Can it be done by someone else? Many of the tasks on your plate could likely be done by someone else with the right resources.

Delegation should not be micromanaging, but rather clarity. It is not you hovering over people to make sure that they’re doing things one way. It is assigning a goal and making sure that they have the resources they need to be successful in pursuing that goal.

When you do not hold your people accountable, your best employees pick up their slack. They end up doing more work, and feeling underappreciated, and you are more likely to lose them. #talent #leadership #accountability #team

A word on accountability. Accountability is not punishment, it is clarity. Accountability is about having responsibility for behaviors and outcomes. It is not a one-time event. Accountability done right is actually its own form of support.

A competency model provides a language for what behaviors are necessary for success in your organization. These models can create alignment across all of your talent systems. If you’re not currently using a competency model, I do strongly encourage that you look into them.
