Why Every Leader Should Have a Regular Reflection Time

It’s more important than you think!

 

Leaders are a busy lot of people.

We are responsible for guiding our team (or organisation) toward its goals and ensuring its purpose and mission is accomplished. In addition to our primary objectives, we have secondary responsibilities, such as caring for and motivating our team.

Many things demand our attention daily: not only those we’re primarily responsible for but sometimes those we are not directly responsible for. With so many things to deal with, we tend to be very busy most of the time, though some leaders wear “busyness” as a badge of honour!

阻碍你有效领导的三种思维

你的思维影响你的行为！

 

领导力不仅是关于技能，也关于你的思维。

我对领导能力的学习，最初主要是透过观察现实生活中的领导者；但有时候是从小说、故事、电影、或电视剧。我所观察到的领导特质引起了我的共鸣，所以我告诉自己我期望成为像那些我所观察的有效领导者。

它将影响团队的样貌！

“团队” 这个词对不同的人来说意味着不同的东西。

我与团队领导者及他们的团队协作时，常遇到对 “团队” 有不同的见解。一位领导者可能用这词来代表所有在他之下工作的每一个人，而另一位领导者可能只用这词来代表某些人。

即使在同一个团队里，每个成员也可能对 “团队” 这词有不同的理解；有些甚至与他们的领导者的理解不同。

5 key decisions you need to make about your team

Posted 4 years ago by Richard Lim

They affect what your team look like!

The word “Team” means different things to different people.

When I work with team leaders and their teams, I often encounter different notions of what the “team” really is. One team leader may use the word to refer generally to everyone who works under him, while another might refer to a specific group of people.

Even within a team, each member might have a different understanding of what the “team” is; this might even be different from the team leader’s understanding!
