#054 – How Great Leaders Learn to Read Between the Lines

As a leader, are you aware of the inner workings of your team enough to know well ahead of anyone else when a change needs to happen in your organization? Or maybe, you sense a person has outgrown their role even before they do? This week, we talk about how we know when it’s time to make changes in your business, with real-world examples of how we did it recently in our organization. We also talk about how to have important conversations with your team once you know how you’re going to change course.

In this episode, you will learn about:

  • Why leaders need to recognize patterns and know the inner workings of their business while also looking at it from the bird’s eye view.
  • Why it’s important to let go of the need for a certain outcome and have the tough conversations with your team to really know what’s going on.
  • How leaders can stay clear and level-headed, day in and day out.

[:53] As a leader, it is your responsibility to have a high-level vision of your organization and to pay attention to patterns to see if your company may need some changes.

[2:08] It is an interesting exercise to track how many times you are wrong about a thought in a single day.

[9:33] As a leader, you want to be aware of the patterns and interactions within your company even before the members come to you.

[10:27] Pay attention to how your people show up, how they respond now vs. the past, and any miscommunications within the team.

[12:28] Leaders need to create a great team around them that can help them stay in an elevated space so they are able to pay attention to the patterns and where everyone is operating at their best.

[18:00] Too many leaders are afraid to have hard conversations out of fear, but actually, the radical conversations are what build trust and transparency. When we let go of our attachment to the outcome and have the tough conversations, our team really does learn and grow, even if it’s not in a direction that was expected.
