How To Create High-Performance Conversations For Your Finance And Tech Teams

What questions can you use to really develop high performance in your teams?

Well, I'm going to show you.

First of all, what we need to do is to create a situation where you are inviting problem solving and partnering with the person, with your teams that you're working with so that you can be really effective.

So when creating a shift from telling people what to do to working together towards the outcome, One of the benefits of this is that everyone takes responsibility and ownership of their actions and they work together to overcome any problems or any obstacles in the way of the solution.

This allows you to be emotionally intelligent and work together towards a common outcome.

Step one is to contract clearly, be really focused on how you can start the conversation, being very, very clear on what you are, both setting out to achieve what this will do for you as individuals and for the organization and how it's going to feel once it's done.

Connecting to that point can really help people engage on all of their facets and really move things forward.

As I said before, partnering is really powerful because it means you're going to work together.

There is also a stage, which means that you are talking on a really data level as then.

You were just working with what you know, and what you bring to the table. And it removes ego out of the situation because you're partnering, you're allied together. And for a common goal means that you're not.

Telling someone what to do. And you're also avoiding someone just trying to please you and not really understanding what the goal is, create space for exploring.

And that means everyone can have a go and have their ideas heard regardless of if they're going to work or not, but there's someone might have part of an idea and someone else in the team might add to that.

There is a technique or use in terms of.

Creating improvisations, where you will always walk, working towards a common goal. And you've got to say yes to every idea.

And you've got to build on things that are thrown into the mix, which can end up with some really dynamic solutions and really create innovative ideas.

Next up be active. And when I say be active, I really mean be present.

So active listening means really focused listening. Turn off your devices, really look at people's eyes, their facial expressions, and hear what they're saying.

You'll be surprised how much you're just waiting for the end. When you respond, jump in to make sure you're supporting and reflecting on what has just been said.

Don't just move on.

Initially.

That's a sign of a really active listener next at the end, clearly defined the actions that you need to take. And I mean, be clear, not just I will get this done.

When what do you need?

What do you need to get it done?

These are the really powerful questions.

What time?

Who are you going to tell?

Where do you need to go to get this done?

What can I do to support you in this?

Again, going back to partnering all of this creates really powerful questions to get better performance, higher performance out of your teams.

And then you will have a really clear culture of innovation, of ideas and of leadership.
