Feeling stuck at work - Part 3
Here is another type of ‘stuck’ at work and what to do…
"I have an underperforming team; I don’t know how to get them to lift their game”
Seek feedback: Request honest feedback from your team to understand how your leadership style impacts their performance. Use this feedback constructively to refine your approach and improve as a leader.
Understand team performance shortfall: Gain a clear understanding of the areas where the team is falling short and the underlying reasons for their underperformance. Explore ways in which you can positively influence these areas, such as advocating for necessary technical uplift or creating mentorship opportunities within the team.
Foster teamwork and cohesion: Assess team dynamics and address any issues or conflicts, including reflecting on your own contributions. Encourage collaboration and create an environment that nurtures teamwork.
Engaging an executive coach can provide valuable insights on managing specific team members, facilitating team cohesion, and enhancing your communication, conflict resolution, and leadership skills.
