TGIF 4/21/2023 - Edition 97

Proud of my oldest daughter who has been consistently working hard to be the best version of herself including her love for basketball ??. Once our family returned from Spring Break, we had a quick turnaround to travel for a basketball tournament last weekend. Her AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) 16 team won their 2nd tournament championship ??of the season and will be going for their 3rd this week in California. Weekends have been super busy with traveling to tournaments but well worth seeing her thrive and succeed.

??#Leadership??

Powerful, high-impact feedback conversations do three things:

1. Start with openness and humility.

2. Intend to help the employee grow, rather than to show them they were wrong.

3. Invite the employee into the problem-solving process.
