But the overall objective converges to delivering results, improving/preparing the team for tomorrow, and building a shared value (behind why we do what we do).
What exactly do you do to focus on these three areas as a manager?
One can find multiple articles on the internet where people are talking about doing regular 1:1, but I consider this as a preliminary step and looking for more than that.
I tried creating a framework to answer this question for myself. And that's where I want to understand if there is anything I can borrow from others.
In my case, I divided my contribution to the team members in different categories, and have created a set of questions to ask myself periodically
- For a productive time, I ask/nudge the team member to see if they are well aware of their time spent or if I am wasting their time at any point with some unnecessary demand?
- For a better personal connection and relationship, I have pledged to solve a non-work problem for a team member every month.
- For a continuous change, we are working towards doing something thought-provoking (explicit agenda) periodically.
Are there similar methods/checkpoints you use to ensure you contribute your full potential to your team?
It will be great to learn how you have been working to meet the same objective.
