Humility: Some Leaders Have It and Other’s Don’t – Video

What a gift when we look back and see how we’ve grown or overcome conflict.
This awareness is priceless. One of my passions is supporting others to find those hidden lessons.

This post is about humility and knowing yourself.

Two Questions to Ask About Humility

How would you answer these two questions?

1. What would you tell your 18-year-old self?
2. How have you changed since you were in high school?

Human Resource Professional Hernando Flowers was a guest on my show – Kick Conflict to the Curb™. The conversation was engaging, and his answers to these two questions took us deep into a fascinating dialogue. 

Hernando started out by saying, “Department Managers and Leaders wear so many hats. We can’t be frustrated at first. It takes time to discover our specialty.” 

I added that many leaders show no signs of humility. They have all the answers and are not open to hearing from others.

More Ideas About Humility

At 18, most of us think that we have all the answers. We are impatient and become frustrated waiting.

Hernando covered the following ideas on humility: 

  • We don’t have all the answers.
  • Surround yourself around people who have different skills than you.
  • Realize your weakness, and learn from strong team members in this area.

We continued discussing the importance of humility as a leader.

Watch the video below to discover a few more tips that Hernando shared during the interview.

 

How would you answer the two questions?

1. What would you tell your 18-year-old self?
2. How have you changed since you were in high school?

I would tell myself to trust myself even when others told me I “couldn’t do something.” It took a while to discover this awareness. I now help others trust themselves and stop that negative self-talk.

Difficult Conversations Tip #1

Diffuse conflicts by responding consciously rather than automatically.

This tip works because you are in control of how you want to react.
You consciously think about this versus automatically opening your mouth without giving any thought.
Aren’t you glad you’re reading this post? 🙂

Difficult Conversations Tip # 2

Get into THE GAP by taking a breath or brief silence on how you want to express yourself.
Especially when you are off-center with another person.

Additionally, think if this is the best time to say something or cool off and respond later.

Many times we forget that we have control over these tough conversations.

There are many choices. The challenge is that we automatically respond without thinking.
This is what gets us into trouble.

Easy Secrets to Successfully Coach Your Team: Part 4

successfully coach your team |code of conduct |team coachingThe code of conduct is such an underused strategy to successfully coach your team.  The reason why it’s so powerful is that Department Managers and Leaders get buy-in from the team after everyone agrees to the “rules.”

The execution is easy.  Getting people to understand the importance is not so easy because it’s new for many people and it will create uncomfortable, yet necessary change.

This is part 4 in the 5 part series.  You will find parts 1-3 below to review or just in case you missed it.

Successfully Coach Your Team Secret #4:  The Code of Conduct is the Police Officer successfully coach your team |reduce conflict at work

You may need to have the following conversation when a team member breaks the code: 

“This is not about me attacking you. This is about following the code. We all agreed upon the code. I’m uncomfortable doing this yet I need to speak to you since it will benefit all of us. It is not about being mean or blaming you. It is about sticking to what we decided to do. What specifically do you need to understand the rules of the code of conduct?  I’m here for you to make sure you join the rest of us.”

This is a perfect time for Department Managers and Leaders to address accountability issues with an individual who is being difficult and refusing to follow the rules. 

Do you Need Support to Successfully Coach Your Team? 

Coaching skills take years to learn and practice.  A trained conflict resolution or communication coach knows how to successfully coach your team because of experience in the field.  If you answered “yes” to the question above, you don’t have to look very far for assistance.  I’m right here. 🙂  All you have to do is send me an email with your questions or concerns.  I will answer your questions and if you need more support, we can discuss coaching options that fit anyone’s time schedule.  I will send you a calendar link to set up a FREE 20-minute discovery call with you.
