Connected Leadership: Learn These 6 Things About Those You Lead

When new team members join your team, get to know them and give them a chance to get to know all of you. This is common sense. Yet what leaders and managers don’t always do, is learn these specific things about all those they lead.

Find Out How They …

1. Learn. Are they visual, auditory, or written learners? When you are explaining new challenges, use methods that connect to how they learn and absorb.

2. Handle stress. Some start talking it out. Others go quiet and reflect. Still others ask lots of questions. Learn about how your employees handle stress and you can lead morale and success.

3. Define leadership and management. What do they want and need from you? Without knowing this, you cannot lead, manage, and lead morale.

4. Behave in a true crisis. To do this, find out what makes them feel secure. Most people in a crisis will show some fear and then will start to create their own security. When you know this, you can lead them through a crisis.
