How can you use self-efficacy theory to build your team's confidence and resilience?

Stay invested in your action plan with persevarance and consistency. No shortcuts to results. Think of the outcome. Stay optimised and maintain high energy levels within the team.

Take risks, execute with confidence, and navigate challenges with self-assuredness. Empowered with self efficacy, navigate the professional journey with confidence, resilience, and determination alongside one another. High self-efficacy will lead to better decision-making, trusting their judgment when they take calculated risks. Believing in their problem-solving abilities enhances their capacity to innovate and find unique solutions to problems. They discover that networking, collaborating, and building partnerships, cones more easily. With this confidence, one increases their chances of securing relationships that lead to growth in network and develop long term retention of business relationships.

Self-efficacy is important for confidence and in the workplace and is essential for learning and development, feeling able to ask questions and make mistakes. It's not necessarily about having all the skills already but the self belief that we can apply ourselves and give things a go.

Unlocking a talent and fostering an encouraging environment where one can display their talent for the betterment of the organization and themselves. Once someone is successful at one thing it will give them the drive and confidence to continue contributing more.

It starts with value. Once your team knows their worth, they can then be empowered by the virtues of self-efficacy. All too often employers hide or obscure the value of their workforce - either out of always wanting to feel like they're the smartest person in the room or their need for control - which ultimately devalues their workforce and thus their business. The best boss/mentor I ever had was someone who said that she only hired people that she believed were smarter than her and wanted to take her job from out beneath her (she actually told me this on day one). From that moment on, she instilled the value within me, which is the main ingredient for self-efficacy to work in the first place. Value -> Self Efficacy -> Confidence/Resilience

Encourage open communication. Ask team members about their confidence levels in handling specific tasks or challenges. Evaluate the team's success in achieving goals. Consistent goal attainment indicates a higher level of self-efficacy within the team. Analyze performance metrics, such as meeting deadlines or achieving targets. Administer self-efficacy surveys that include questions about individuals' confidence in their abilities. Conduct one-on-one interviews to assess how team members perceive their ability to overcome obstacles. Assess how team members respond to challenges. Those who view challenges as opportunities for growth likely have higher self-efficacy.

I've developed the habit of posing questions to my team and carefully observing instances where confidence levels vary. I engage in one-on-one discussions with each team member to delve into their self-efficacy, actively fostering open conversations. It requires leadership and a degree of empathy to venture into this territory. I prioritize listening to my team's feedback, ensuring they feel acknowledged. These are not occasional checkmark conversations; as a leader, I remain vigilant in consistently evaluating my team's self-efficacy.

Just communicating with the team members in the right perspective will add value and help them in finding their own self - efficacy will certainly boost the overall confidence.

Open two-way communication to assess your team’s performance will help provide feedback and uncover challenges. Combined with observations focusing on their behavior, it can provide insight into their self-efficacy. Using metrics to measure performance can also be used to confirm your overall assessment. Considering the feedback, observations, and data can determine whether confidence is high or low. You can help your team overcome any obstacles through individual plans and positive coaching. Provide continual positive feedback and monitor their performance to enable them to adapt and be successful.

Albert Bandura introduced self-efficacy, a key concept in human motivation and resilience. Self-efficacy theory highlights how one's belief in their abilities shapes their response to challenges. To enhance your team's confidence and resilience, employ a holistic approach: set realistic goals, provide clear expectations, offer constructive feedback, support skill development, lead by example, foster peer support and autonomy, celebrate achievements, ensure resource access, encourage self-reflection, embrace failures for growth, teach stress management, offer emotional support, and cultivate a growth mindset.

Self efficacy is an important trait within a team that can help it achieve more and more complex tasks over time. It can be increased through affirmation of team’s right actions, instillation of belief and right mentoring. Positive feedback loop and credible, reliable support during tough times often helps the team to be more confident in their abilities in the long run

Setting the team for inevitable success is key to building self efficacy- breaking goals down into truly achievable milestones can make that seemingly insurmountable mountain turn into a small speed bump. Perception is everything. As we set up the small wins for our team, we create positive momentum that gives them intrinsic feedback of success in addition to driving initiatives forward. On mindset- high performers are always our own worst enemies- coaching around silencing the inner critic and shifting internal dialogue has been a huge aspect of instilling self efficacy in my team and clients. If you do not have that ability internally, hiring a coach for team members can move the needle here.

Lead by example. Demonstrate the behaviors and skills you want your team to adopt. Share your experiences, including both successes and failures, to show that learning and growth are part of the process.

I think a big piece is to give your team the opportunity to own things and deliver and understand that while it might not be the same way you'd do something it can still be successful. I think it's important to give the team members the chance to truly feel ownership and that you're their to support and contribute to the solution. Too often leaders give someone the opportunity to own something but once it deviates from their process they jump in and take control. People need experience to truly feel comfortable and gain confidence and as a leader you should support and guide vs. immediately jumping in and taking the reigns.

Building self-efficacy in a team is about creating a psychologically safe place where team members feel they belong and can trust each other. This helps to calm stress and enhance cooperation. Team members feel valued and appreciated and are better able to work together to achieve shared goals, have belief in the team's ability to meet challenges and grow their own self-efficacy.

Try to connect to their why, encourage and explain how their role impacts the business. Performance conversations should also allow for them to share their ideas. Empowerment vs critique is a great tool.

We hire humans with a growth mindset, willing to invest in themselves with audio books, certifications, and ongoing training through online, in person, and recorded resources.

Regarding feedback- ensure it is specific. Generalities do more harm than good. I’ve found strategic feedback with specific examples yields the greatest results in fostering confidence without complacency.

Providing space for reflection and being open to conversations about challenges, setbacks and failures will allow the team to reset and learn through these experiences. A growth mindset is central to this and doesn't come naturally to everyone. Having open, supportive conversations will help individuals to start to shift their mindset and understand how they can grow through challenge. Importantly for leaders taking time to listen and make changes to workplace practices that will enhance the team's ability to reach goals will facilitate trust and psychological safety and maintain self-efficacy.

Provide regular feedback, celebrate achievements, and encourage them to take on new challenges. Foster a culture of psychological safety, where team members feel free to share ideas and take initiative. Offer ongoing support through mentoring and coaching, and promote skill development and a growth mindset. Lead by example, provide necessary resources, and address challenges as they arise. Keep team goals dynamic and revisit them periodically to ensure they remain motivating and attainable. By consistently applying these practices, you can sustain and strengthen your team's belief in their capabilities, leading to continued high performance and confidence.

Fostering a safe learning environment is key here- if we have a culture that disallows mistakes or prevents true feedback and discussion, we will miss the mark here. Ensure the culture is one of lifelong learning and growth mindset, foster the safe space for growth and asking for support when needed, close the feedback loop and ensure all necessary tools for learning are provided to set your team for inevitable success.

Revolutionize the culture by fostering an environment where the team builds positive and strategic relationships, involving a combination of dedication to personal development and servant leadership to one another, no matter where they sit in the layers of titles. Push one another to be the best versions of yourself to promote self efficacy and mutual confidence in one another. Lead by example. Foster open communication. Develop individual growth plans With shared values. Encourage mentorship and coaching. Organize team-building activities. Provide regular feedback. Invest in conflict resolution, training, and development. Promote cross-functional collaboration. Emphasize continuous learning and set measurable goals. Celebrate success!??

Maintaining psychological safety is essential for building strong relationships. As a leader building trust is part of this process. Doing what you say you'll do, acting in line with your values, appreciating team members for their strengths as well as their differences, and providing support when they face challenges will start to build a culture of trust and cooperation.

A paper published in the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology (EWOP) entitled "Self-Efficacy at Work" discusses how self-efficacy can strongly predict work-related performance and social interactions. People with high self-efficacy tend to approach complex tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than threats to be avoided. This proactive approach can benefit relationships, as people are more open to constructive criticism and adaptive in conflict.

Remind yourself of your strengths and capabilities to approach interactions with a positive mindset. Culture is a huge player when it comes to self-efficacy. Be around like minded individuals.

We had a plenty of initiatives; 1- Lift me up: Pair with another team member to learn a new skill together or enroll in a course with your team member as an accountability partner and friend. 2- Monthly retrospective session: Reflection on what went well, what needs improvement and what can be considered next time to achieve our goal. 3- Knowledge sharing session: Weekly presentation led by a different team member each week to educate us on something of their interest (Could be not so work related) 4- We start our big meetings with gratitude and saying something positive/inspiring about each team member. 5- Meet N Eat: Our weekly 1:1 feedback session over lunch.
