How To Boost Team Performance When The Pressure Is On
“We're $50M behind our target for the year. I'm getting pressured by our CEO to figure out how to meet the narrative or we'll start holding on hiring."
^I heard this from an Executive Leader.
He'd been on the road & was out of sync with his team.
The $50M came as a shock to him.
Until the pressure hit from his CEO, he hadn't been prioritizing his team.
Or, I hear from leaders all the time, “I have an employee who's not performing. I’ve done everything I can…”
To which I always respond, “Have you really?”
As a leader, it’s up to you to unlock your people’s potential.
You can show them where you’re going.
But if you don’t coach & develop them, they won’t have the skillsets you need.
When you:
-Build a team you can trust to execute the work, even if you’re on the road or on vacation
-Invest your time in leading vs. doing
^This is what I call becoming a leader in your organization & team.
The ultimate benefit?
Get your time back, without sacrificing company results.
