Well being vs Work - What to talk about first
Well Being v Work What to Talk About First Managers feedback from my Remote Management Courses are saying that they all fee they have become better managers in terms of communication; 1. More regular team meetings. 2. Certainly more one to ones. 3. Trusting and empowering their team members has improved. 4. Delegation and being less of a control freak. 5. Trying not to send emails out of hours 6. Being more emotionally aware and really getting to know and understand team members All these are good news but one conversation we always have is about one to ones. What do we discuss first - Work or Well Being? Well now we have everyone doing one to ones via video with the cameras on it is easier to gauge the mood of team members. The best question to ask is \u2018What would you like to discuss first?\u2019 just be human and ask Make sure the team members know the structure of your one to ones and you are going to cover both subjects and they will continue to become more open. A manager did comment on one session \u2018I ask are they waving to say hello or because they are drowning\u2019 which breaks the ice with her team. Just be human and ask, \u2018What would you like to discuss first, Work tasks or how you are doing?\u2019 Remember you can\u2019t solve everyone\u2019s problems, but you can listen and understand and provide support. Have great conversations, your people will respect you for it
