Here's how you can gauge your influence on your team's success.

Engaging your success with your peers is one of the hardest tasks of a leader, because you have to communicate the impact of the decisions you make and why you made them. If you're a leader. Otherwise if you're not reflecting honestly upon your success and failures in a lighter tone to your peers who would understand your perspective from a very vision oriented approach. They say that you're not destined to do great things with your team players, if they're not on the same page as you. Analyzing growth outcomes and decisions that led to further displacement in your trajectory needs to be clearly sought out for really gauging influence on your peers.

To gauge your influence on your team's success, one thing I have found helpful that is , Reflect Honestly by assessing your contributions and areas for improvement.

Gauging your influence on your team's success can be done through various indicators. For instance, observe the team's performance trends. If the team consistently meets or exceeds goals since your leadership began, it's a positive sign. Also, consider the team's morale and engagement levels. If team members are motivated, collaborative, and actively contributing, it reflects well on your influence. Additionally, feedback from team members can provide valuable insights. For example, if your team expresses appreciation for your guidance and support, it's a clear indication of your positive impact. Remember, effective leadership fosters team success.

The question is: do they feel psychologically ‘safe’? Can they talk to the leader candidly but with respect? Can they talk about anything to the leader & not feel unsafe about their job? Does the leader feel emotionally safe themselves to be able to listen to ‘truth told with respect’?

Reflecting honestly is essential for personal growth and self-awareness. It involves being open and truthful with ourselves about our thoughts, actions, and emotions. When we reflect honestly, we can identify areas for improvement, learn from our mistakes, and make better decisions in the future. It's a crucial practice for developing empathy, understanding others, and building meaningful relationships. Overall, reflecting honestly fosters personal development and contributes to a more fulfilling life.

To gauge our influence on our team's success, one thing I have found helpful that is by Setting Benchmarks. Define clear goals and track progress regularly.

Another measure: how many of colleagues come up with new ideas, ways to improve existing things? Do they take initiative to fix the problems on their own? Vs. looking for ‘permission’ to fix things.

Observing group dynamics is a great way to gauge influence. If team members are engaged and are open to collaborating to build on new ideas, then influence could be easier to float. Identify who and/or what are buy-in factors to get the team onboard with a new project or initiative. If these dynamics are not in place, it could be more difficult to influence a situation.

In my experience, to gauge our influence on our team's success: we must Observe Dynamics by noticing how team members interact and adapt accordingly.

If meeting conversations are centered on a ‘PowerPoint deck’ then communications are f***** up. However, if the ideas or proposals are shared in a 2-3 page word document with ample space on both sides, followed by 20-min silent reading by all preset (they jot down questions)….then the mtg starts with questions! This will enable productive outcomes. Try it??

In my practice and experience, to gauge our influence on our team's success: We must Encourage Growth by Supporting our team members' development and skill enhancement.

True leaders make sure their team gets the credit but also support their need to achieve their goals. It is not about you, it is about your team.

To gauge our influence on our team's success: we must Encourage Growth by Supporting our team members' development and skill enhancement.

Consider implementing regular "skip-level" meetings where you connect directly with team members below your direct reports. This allows you to gauge your influence on a deeper level by hearing directly from those you may not interact with regularly. For example, schedule monthly coffee chats with different team members to discuss their experiences, challenges, and suggestions for improvement. This not only demonstrates your commitment to understanding their perspectives but also provides valuable insights into your leadership's impact across the entire team.

Analisar os prós e contras e buscar o feedback continuamente (feedforward) contribui ativamente para gerar rela??es de confian?a com a equipe. Resultado em trabalho de qualidade, engajamento e positividade.

Integrating periodic team retrospectives into your leadership strategy can provide invaluable insights into team dynamics and your influence. These sessions allow for open discussions about what's working well and areas for improvement, fostering a culture of transparency and collaboration. For example, after completing a major project, organize a retrospective where team members share their experiences and suggestions for enhancing future endeavors.

I think it is important to understand that influence isn’t about exerting power, but about inspiring and guiding your team towards achieving their goals. It’s about creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and motivated to do their best.

La mejor medición de un líder radica en lo que piensa, siente y hace su equipo. Si el equipo se siente acompa?ado, Si el equipo muestra evolución como equipo y cada miembro de firma individual Si el equipo es capaz de resolver problemas Si el equipo es capaz de trabajar sistemáticamente y alineado cuando el líder no está Si el equipo confía y se siente en un espacio de seguridad psicológica Esa es la forma de medir

Influence is not just about directing others but also about inspiring, empowering, and guiding your team towards success. Define what success looks like for your team. Having clear goals will help you measure progress and your influence on achieving those objectives. Implement regular feedback sessions with your team to gain insights into how your leadership is affecting team morale and productivity. Seek feedback from peers, superiors, and subordinates. Conduct surveys to understand team sentiment. Reflect on your actions and decisions. Consider how they align with the team’s values and objectives. Self-assessment is a crucial part of measuring your influence.

In my view as a leader to gauge a team success 1. You should build a team with mutual respect, trust in integrity 2. Understand the need ,desire and style of each member 3. Accept and Celebrate the uniqueness and difference of each team member 4. Credit to your team for success and take responsibility on you for failure 5. Know the strength and weaknesses of each team member
