Why Managing Everyone One Way Leaves Some of Your Team Behind
Many managers manage the way they would like to be managed. A manager who leads with D sets stretch goals and checks in rarely. A manager who leads with S checks in often and praises steadily. Each approach works well for the people who share the manager's style, and less well for everyone else.
The people on a team want different things from the same five conversations: setting goals, checking in, praise, correction and keeping them motivated. A person who leads with D wants a big goal and room to run. A person who leads with I wants to be seen and to work with people. A person who leads with S wants a clear plan and a steady manager. A person who leads with C wants a clear standard and time to meet it.
This lesson shows how to hold each of those five conversations with each style, how to use your team's room in Together to plan them, and how to keep your own style from setting the tone for everyone.
Keep the standard the same for everyone, and change how you set it, check it and talk about it for each person.
