"There were couple of big insights, which were very educational to me and I would consider as big takeaway′s. Firstly, the importance of giving/receiving feedback and more relevant to me, to ask for feedback pro-actively. Another important lesson was the significance of effective delegation, and the negative consequences that can arise from delegating incorrectly. Lastly, the self-reflection exercises stood out as crucial for understanding one's current status and identifying personal blind spots." Stephan Eggerl, Leader as Coach graduate, 2024

Let's get rid of our managers. Said Google in 2002. They experimented with a completely flat organization, eliminating managers to break down barriers to rapid idea development.

Here is what we notice when working with leaders - does not matter what country or geography. Managers are tired of controlling, pushing and constantly telling their people what to do. They are burning out, feel like micromanagers, it’s not working for them. They want to have more trust and respect, they want people to be more independent and resourceful. But they don’t know HOW to achieve this. Let's talk. We invite you to join our founder Petra Holic at Facet5 Live: Free-to-attend Online Learning Events.

Your 1:1s. The individual conversations you are having with your team members. ??How to do them right? ??How often? ??What to talk about? If we had to write a definition of what a good 1:1 is - it would be: A lifeline between you, the leader and the person you are entrusted to lead. An imaginary energy circuit through which your relationship & trust is developed and nourished. The very best way to show that you care about the person, his or her success when it comes to performance, wellbeing and growth. Here are 3 simple questions for you to try. We called it the 3H model. If you don't yet have an agenda for your 1:1s, give it a try. If you do, see if there is anything, maybe just one question, that you can use. In Leader as Coach we don't just tell you to ask questions. We teach you and practice with you the art & science of asking powerful questions to drive engagement in your team. Join us in March 2025 when a new group of leaders embarks on our flagship 12 week program for people managers.? We are looking forward to having you join us.

What's your Advice Monster? There is 3 of them. When we show them to the managers we work with - they usually laugh and quickly pick the one they identify with the most. It's the one that makes you overdo advice giving vs. helping people come up with their own answers. Let us itroduce the heroes of this post: ???????? ???? ?? ???????? ???? ?? ?????????????? ???? ?? The father of these 3 rascals is the one & only ?? Michael Bungay Stanier. PS. There is nothing wrong with managers giving advice. Advice can be awesome. The problem becomes when advice-giving becomes your default. People around you learn to pasivelly rely on your advice and stop coming up with their own solutions.
