Episode 53: Meet Your People Where They Are, Part 2

In a recent podcast I mentioned the phrase, “To meet people where they are, as a leader, you have to learn where they are.” In that episode, we explored how important it is to meet your people where they are by acknowledging, validating, and supporting their dreams, goals, and objectives.Today we are going to look at a different perspective of meeting your people where they are. Today we examine the critical skill of sharing.As leaders, we understand that we have to “share the vision” or “sell the vision” for my salespeople out there. It is important that our direct reports, our teams, and our departments understand the company vision so they can see where the company is headed; otherwise, people become hesitant, confused, or bored.None of those are healthy for company morale or corporate culture. In fact, they are a death sentence for many organizations.So how do we prevent hesitation, confusion, and boredom with our people at work?
