Struggling with your team? It might be you.
You think you’re frustrated because sales team doesn’t follow up, finance doesn’t manage cashflow, or PMs miss deadlines/blow budgets.
You’re annoyed. You think they should know. You shouldn’t have to tell them.
The steps seem so simple: Ask for what you want. They do it.
Stop. Look within.
What leadership requires of you are knowing what you want, explaining so they get it, requesting agreement, realizing they may say no, setting a deadline, following up, and evaluating results
This may seem overwhelming but it’s really about one thing: managing your mind.
Be willing to slow down, deal with rejection, have uncomfortable conversations, and not make it mean anything about you.
It’s worth it. I learned how and you can too.
Your team and your sanity will thank you.
