🌍 Working across different time zones often limits the manager’s ability to offer the team immediate support, ensure presence, and promptly resolve issues as they arise. To address this problem, the Customer Success Department at SDG has recently launched the Team Leaders Program, which has doubled the average employee tenure 🚀 Daria Gorelova, Deputy Head of Customer Success Department at SDG, has described their experience in the new article. Read on to discover how we achieved this transformation! #management #leadership #team #remotework

Holsomback’s Leadership Insights: Nurturing Relationships for Team Success Leading a large team of 50+ employees comes with its challenges, but one thing remains clear: relationships are the cornerstone of effective leadership and team performance. Here’s how I’ve been navigating this journey… Understanding/Supporting: Learning about each team member individually is crucial. It’s about more than just knowing their names; it’s understanding their strengths, challenges, and career aspirations. By providing tailored support and development opportunities, we empower our team to excel. Accountability/Feedback: Holding team members accountable is essential for maintaining high standards. Equally important is creating a culture where feedback flows both ways. Recently, we initiated small feedback sessions with 3-4 team members at a time. These sessions have been incredibly insightful, providing valuable perspectives that inform our strategies for better customer service and operational efficiency. Listening/Learning: As a leader, listening is non-negotiable. Frontline employees are the heartbeat of our business, they interact directly with customers and understand their needs best. By actively seeking their feedback, we not only gain actionable insights but also demonstrate our commitment to their growth and success. Training/Motivation: Investing in continuous training is key to keeping our team sharp and adaptable. Motivation comes from recognizing achievements, fostering a positive work environment, and aligning individual goals with the broader vision of the sales department and the business as a whole. Empowering Through Feedback: Our frontline team members often have innovative ideas and practical solutions. By encouraging them to share their insights and ideas, we not only improve our processes but also empower them to take ownership of their roles and contribute meaningfully to our success. Investing in Communication: Effective communication is foundational. Through these feedback sessions, team members refine their communication skills, learn to articulate challenges, and propose solutions. This not only enhances team cohesion but also elevates our customer experience. In conclusion, leadership is about humility and collaboration. By valuing relationships, embracing feedback, and empowering our frontline team, we strengthen our business from within. Together, we continue to innovate, improve, and deliver exceptional results. Special thanks to our Sales Manager, Ryan Pendarvis II. Ryan has been instrumental in putting together training programs, conducting focus groups, and facilitating the initiatives discussed in this article. His dedication and alignment with our mission and vision are invaluable, and I’m grateful for his exemplary leadership and teamwork. #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamBuilding #EmployeeFeedback #CustomerExperience #BusinessSuccess #EmployeeEngagement #LeadershipSkills #FeedbackCulture #SalesLeadership

Discover the path to team success For a moment, I want you to imagine a work environment where your team isn’t just meeting but enjoying the time together and exceeding targets consistently. Picture it: a motivated and engaged team working together seamlessly toward a common goal. That vision is within reach. How do I know? You can imagine it. So the question becomes what’s getting in the way of the transformation you see in your mind’s eye. I’m sure there are several reasons, but one common challenge that creates a blockage is a disengaged team lacking motivation. This challenge leads to missed targets and a negative or toxic work environment and hinders your leadership ability to achieve desirable outcomes. In my experience in leadership development and team management, effective leadership is critical to a team’s success and organizational growth. Again, effective leadership includes leveraging your team and trusting them with the things you feel only you can do or handle. This trust is vital for your managers within the team to feel empowered to do their job. By developing your new manager’s skills, specifically directing and delegating, creating motivating environments, and developing talent, you help the manager feel empowered to transform the work environment. This shift, paired with coaching, can lead to a highly motivated and cohesive team collaborating effectively to achieve desirable results. So, is the time investment in developing your managers worth it? I’ll leave you to answer that question for yourself. At the same time, I’ll state the obvious: your investment will benefit your manager and have a ripple effect on the entire team, leading to improved performance and a positive work culture. How much would that be worth to you and your organization? In the next post, I’ll discuss the long-term benefits of creating a motivated and high-trust team within your organization. Today, reflect on how enhancing your manager’s skills can positively impact your team dynamics. Share your thoughts in the comments, and stay tuned. #TeamSuccess #EffectiveLeadership #NewManagerTraining

Does keeping Your Team "Accountable" look like chasing people to get their job done? Accountability is one of the pulse points in your team's execution. You know it's important. You take on the responsibility. Then our calendar gets hijacked with chasing down updates, poking for any kind of progress and following up on missed deadlines. If this feels like the case for you, there's a better way! The problem is that we've learned accountability as a set of external control tactics (that keeps us stuck pushing and hand-holding) rather than... 👉 Continuous quick connection points that engage the employee's choice to step into their responsibility (accessing internal motivation). 👉 communication strategies that increases transparency & alignment so we can achieve great things together. 👉 systems that both support & empower your team to take more initiative (without being told to act). 👉 creating a self-managed team that enjoys collaborating together (without needing a mediator). These are the "leading people first" strategies that my clients get inside the Executive Edge Program... So if you are READY to ignite your employee's engagement and initiative... You'll be stepping out of being the manager chasing for things to get done... So that you can instead be the Trusted Leader your team needs so they can be at their best & delivering quality work ON TIME (without you needing to stress over it). Unlike your typical leadership development program, you'll be receiving inside the Executive Edge... ✔️ 2x EQ Leadership Profile generated by validated SEI assessment (before & after) to both personalize your experience and deliver measurable results. ✔️ 2x Individual Coaching sessions where we'll partner to design your customized strategy to compliment your unique leadership style and the needs of your team (which actually takes things off your plate). ✔️ 6x Training sessions, alongside your mastermind, focused on translating the influential leadership concepts you're learning into real-world practices leading to tangible results RIGHT NOW. ⏰ TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR THE EXECUTIVE EDGE PROGRAM! On Monday of last week, I announced that I had opened 6 seats to The Executive Edge... 2 seats are gone... Consultations are filling my calendar as applications are being received.

I’m hesitant to pass on the latest leadership article because there is so much pablum out there. This caught my attention because I have seen these “doom loops” occur in a number of organizations. It’s an important to recognize when you are in one, and take proactive steps to reframe. I guarantee you, this resiliency mindset will come in handy at some point in the life of your career.

This guide delves into harnessing the power of diverse thoughts and the adaptability of roles, ensuring teams are not just functional but innovative and customer-centric 🎯. Emphasizing Diversity of Thought: In the realm of business problem-solving, the diversity we champion is one of thought, experience, and expertise 🧠. It’s about valuing the unique perspectives that each individual brings to the table, beyond the surface level, driving creativity and innovative solutions 🌈. Remote Work and Team Dynamics: The shift to remote work has reshaped how we connect and collaborate 🖥️. Success lies not in watching the clock, but in watching the outcomes. Are your teams effectively meeting objectives and customer needs? 🎯 Building relationships remotely is also key. Regular virtual one-on-ones and occasional in-person gatherings can significantly strengthen team bonds 💪.

Encourage a culture where stepping beyond one's primary area for collaboration is seen as a positive move towards a common goal 🤝. This approach enables team members to contribute uniquely, fostering an environment ripe for innovation and collective success 🌟. Conclusion: Effective leadership in managing team dynamics lies in valuing diverse perspectives, adapting to remote work nuances, and balancing defined roles with collaborative flexibility 🌍. By focusing on these elements, leaders can forge teams that are not only efficient but also agile, responsive, and thriving 🚀.

A collective mindset is a method for achieving collective leadership. Rather than pinning leadership responsibilities on a single person, today’s organizations must adopt a more collective leadership approach. One that focuses on behaviors rather than on a person’s traits, and this is where developing a collective mindset comes in. How do we develop a collective mindset? 1. Collaborate & Innovate: promote collaboration amongst team members. Allow them to share ideas, knowledge, and expertise and create an environment in which they can do this. Collaborative environments also lead to innovation as teams leverage diverse perspectives to develop creative solutions. 2. Problem-Solving: promote a more comprehensive understanding of core organizational issues that teams come together to solve. 3. Adaptability: promote a culture of adaptability which helps with change management. Adapting to changes efficiently fosters a culture of continuous learning and openness to trying new ways. 4. Employee Engagement: ensure team members feel that their opinions are valued and that they contribute to a collective effort. A sense of belonging amongst a team contributes to higher team performance overall. 5. Communication: encourage open and transparent communication. People are more likely to share information, provide feedback, and communicate openly about challenges and success, improving team dynamics. 6. Resilience & Conflict Management: Build resilience by celebrating successes and failures and making it okay to fail and get things wrong. Use failures as learning opportunities. Conflict is part of the process, and learning to navigate conflict with a shared common goal can elevate the team’s growth and performance.

Effective team management is crucial for success. Here are some simple tips to help: 1. Prioritize Results Over Time: Focus on outcomes rather than just hours worked. 2. Document Everything: Clear documentation ensures consistency and clarity. 3. Maintain Professional Boundaries: Avoid friending employees on social media to keep professional relationships intact. 4. Seek Productivity Feedback: Regularly ask your team for input on productivity to continuously improve. Bonus: For first-time managers, remember these key dos and don’ts. Do communicate openly and lead by example. Don’t micromanage or overlook individual contributions. #TeamManagement #Leadership #Productivity #FirstTimeManagers
