20.01.2022 Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert? Most people could guess at where to place themselves on the introvert-extrovert scale, but the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Step II is great for really getting to knowing yourself and others. It’s especially helpful for people leaders because managing a team means you need to know the people working for you. Someone could be an extrovert when it comes to communicating ideas and solving problems, but might prefer the ...peace and quiet of working alone. To find out what other areas of our personalities the MBTI can dissect, read the full article here https://peopleleaders.com.au/myers-briggs-step-2-introvert/ See more

14.01.2022 In our 100th episode of the People Leaders Podcast we tackle the seven most common myths we hear about the two personality types. Myth #1 - Extroverts are happier The interesting part about this is that we actually get to see extroverts show or demonstrate their happiness. They'll tell you when they're happy and let you know when they're not; they will tell you exactly what they’re feeling more often than introverts. ... As a people leader you should use this to your advantage. There’s a gem hiding in this personality type. Since they’re so open to expressing their feelings, they’re more likely to ask for help when they need it, whether that be due to anxiety or illness or not knowing what to do. Whereas people with a preference for introversion tend to hold on to it a little bit more. You really need to dig a little to find out whether they’re okay. Sometimes, we see introverts spiral a little bit because they tend to analyse everything. Because they’ve got such a rich internal world, there comes a time when there is a little bit of an analysis paralysis. It’s your job as a people leader to really watch out for that and check in to keep them balanced. https://peopleleaders.com.au/personality-types-introversio/

12.01.2022 How would you rate your level of skill in the area of feedback? I don't mean giving feedback I mean receiving feedback. Yes, receiving feedback is a skill. I listened to a TED Talk by Sheila Heen who is a lecturer at Harvard Law school. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQNbaKkYk_Q). Sheila said the tricky thing about receiving feedback is, on one hand, we want to learn and grow and on the other, there is a need to be accepted as we are now. Learning to receive feedback, there...fore, is a skill that needs to be practiced. See if you have any of these Feedback triggers when someone gives you feedback. 1. The truth trigger - when you hear feedback do you sometimes say, yeah, I can see that. 2. Relationship trigger - according to Sheila all feedback lives in the relationship between the giver and receiver, the challenge is to make it about the what not the who. When we can find one thing to discredit the giver of feedback then we can discredit the feedback and feel safe again. 3. Identity trigger - this relates to your emotional reaction. The story you tell yourself impacts how you handle feedback and what you can do about it. Have you asked for feedback lately and did any of the triggers come up for you?

09.01.2022 For teams to work well collaboratively, every member must be crystal clear on roles and responsibilities. The RASCI matrix (pronounced ‘racey’) is a simple ‘quick view’ tool that defines who’s involved at what stage and in what capacity. In this way, it helps managers keep everyone on the same page. RASCI stands for Responsible, Accountable, Supported, Consulted, Informed. It’s an incredibly straightforward and useful model that managers can implement on joining an existing team or starting up an entirely new project. With a RASCI matrix in place, there’s far less room for ambiguity or details slipping through the cracks. Follow the link to explore how it works. https://peopleleaders.com.au/a-racey-matrix-to-help-your-t/

01.01.2022 What does comparison tell us about ourself? Just finished a yoga class this morning and one of the reflections during the class was that yoga is an inside job. That is, it is not about how you look and how you look in comparison to others, it is about how you think and how you feel independent of others. When we start to compare ourselves we are doing one of 3 things or sometimes all of them.... 1. We are not being present to what we are experiencing right now 2. We are not taking accountability for our own thoughts and feelings 3. We are forgetting how incredibly powerful we are when we line up our thoughts, feelings, and actions. So next time you are comparing yourself, congratulate yourself that you noticed and then move to a better feeling thought. Comparison like any other feeling thought is a signpost for us. My invitation today is to notice the times you start to compare and then reflect what were you thinking about before that? Then move it baby to a better thought. How do you manage comparison?
