171. Ask yourself, "What's Working?"

from The New Manager Podcast Hosted by Kim Nicol

If you're a good problem-solver, chances are you spend a lot of time looking at. . . problems. This week, ask yourself, "What's working?" To be an effective manager and an inspired leader, you want to have an accurate picture of the situation -- which means being just as mindful of the strengths and positive qualities that you are your team possess as you are aware of the challenges. This will also help you build trust and good-will, and set you up for success later on in the year when it comes time to do performance reviews. In this episode you'll learn why it's easy to overlook the good stuff, and you'll get some specific strategies to help you refocus your attention.
