One of the things we talk about in our team coaching practice is that ‘how a team does anything is how they do everything.’ Reflect on that for a minute and think about your team right now. Now apply this idea to yourself: how YOU do anything is how YOU do everything. Now think about the feedback you’ve had at work on some aspect of your behaviour that may need to change (you interrupt too much, you’re always late, you don’t listen well). Guess what… you’re probably doing that in your personal life too and you’re probably driving everybody at home as crazy as you’re driving everybody at work. How about your leadership? How is the way you do everything helping you as a leader or hurting you as a leader? It’s a great question to reflect on and notice what aspects of your approach are supporting what you’re trying to do (in work and life) and what are getting in your way.
