4 Questions to Increase Self-Awareness
by Tyler Cook 08 Mar, 2023
I remember the first time I asked this to one of my new employees, in response to a question she asked me about a scenario she encountered. She stared back at me for a second. And then she repeated her question. I simply smiled, and asked her again. "What do YOU think we should do?" She slowly cracked a smile. She then shared her idea - thought out, well articulated, and passionate. So, we went with it. To this day, I don't remember the question she asked me, but I do remember the way she stood a little taller in my office doorway as she passionately detailed her idea that she was about to go hit a home run with. Her idea, not mine. (which was better than mine, anyways) "What do you think?" 4 simple words. 4 words that communicate: - Trust - Belief - Confidence - Commitment When we BELIEVE in our people, we bring out the BEST in our people. Stephen R. Covey said, “Leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves” (Covey, 2013). This is such a great depiction of our role as authentic leaders. How do you convey your belief in those you lead? Are they confident in making decisions without you? Do they feel your support and trust in them? As a leader, this takes intentionality, connection, and a willingness to say, “Go for it - I have your back.” Our organizations are filled with untapped potential, and it is our privilege as leaders to remove the lid and foster a culture where our people are empowered and believed in. So, in what ways can you foster this in your team this week? Look for opportunities and watch your team grow! Reference: Covey, S. R. (2013, January 25). Leadership is a choice, not a position.
