You know leadership is a journey, not a destination. But did you know that if you are not intentionally developing your team, you are choosing where you’re going to level off? You’re creating a roadblock.
That’s right. You will become your organization’s roadblock.
Think over the past year. World-wide life events challenged us to make changes. Leaders jumped in and became incredibly intentional to adapt so the business would survive.
The team you had 12 months ago is not the same team you have now. They have grown in ways, perhaps, you were unable to envision before.
How did you grow, change, and pivot so quickly? You began to question everything.
Leaders Pave the Road to Adapt to Change
By assessing your team’s needs, you pave the way so everyone can adapt.
You asked your team about their equipment needs. You evaluated their ability to adapt to different equipment. You asked about training for process changes. Even the seemingly small implementation of offering a new piece of personal protective equipment could have a big impact on your team’s production.
Without intentional strategy to pivot, work would have come to a halt. Instead, leaders everywhere who closed the gap of knowing their team’s abilities and needs in conjunction with the immediate goals, achieved better and faster results.
Open road of opportunities.
Closing the performance gap between what is reality now and what is possible for the future shouldn’t wait for a crisis situation.
Leaders who continually develop strategies to close that gap have better and faster results than leaders who don’t recognize their team’s abilities to drive high-achieving results.
Answer these questions:
- What challenges and opportunities do you see down the road for your team?
- Are there any roadblocks preventing your team’s ability to change, pivot, and adapt?
- Have you created an intentional development plan to help your team face future challenges?
