It’s easy to be focused on your own outcomes and forget about the outcomes and goals your employees might have. Here are some of those sobering (but honestly, pretty obvious) revelations to share with you. Two big takeaways. Actively listen to your staff, and principals are not for sharing only - we need to apply them in our daily practices. The detail to listen for: 1. Feedback on Learning and Development Opportunities 2. Suggestions for Company Outings and Team Building Activities 3. Desire for One-on-One Time with the Boss 4. Clarity on Goals and Expectations 5. Work-Life Balance Needs 6. Recognition and Appreciation 7. Feedback on Company Policies and Processes Fostering open communication and actively listening to your employees' feedback can enhance employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall performance within your team. It's essential to prioritize these insights to create a positive and productive work environment. #Activelistening #Coaching #AuthenticLeadership #LeadershipMatters

Had a sobering chat with a staff member recently. I realized that despite me working with external clients on coaching and development that I had neglected these principals with my own staff. I was focused on what I needed to achieve; from the business, from staff interactions, financially etc, and I had forgotten - just for a minute - to listen to what the staff needed and expected. Here are some lessons I (re) learnt just by actively listening #Activelistening #Coachingmindset #LeadershipMatters

Effective leadership understands that true productivity is not about pushing oneself and others to the brink of exhaustion but instead creating an environment that supports sustained high performance through an emphasis on balance and health. This often involves setting clear boundaries for work hours, encouraging breaks, respecting personal time, and promoting policies that support a well-rounded life. These practices not only enhance employee satisfaction and retention but also improve job performance across the organization. Gary Travis #garytravis #careers #culture #productivity #leadership
