Cheat Sheet: Leadership Norms and Behaviours@ESDC
Intentional Leadership
Key concepts Intentionality: thoughtful and tailored actions, clear intentions, no ambiguity, understanding the impact of words, people-centered. Communication/Clarity: clear expectations, specific requests. Unconscious presence biases: avoiding favouritism toward people you work with often or toward people who work on-site (proximity bias), being fair to everyone. Digital agility: staying current with available technological tools. In practice 5 Adapt your leadership! Experienced employees may require different levels of presence compared to those who are just starting out. Additionally, when communicating with employees through Teams, place greater emphasis on non-verbal cues. 5 A task request should answer at least all these questions: what is being requested, for what, for when, for whom. 5 Be aware of your actions and words. Ask yourself about the impact they will have on those around you before you act, and adapt them to the situations/people. 5 Communicate regularly and predictably with your team by scheduling meetings on a recurring schedule. 5 Hybrid teams benefit most from virtual meetings. This meeting format will prevent participants from feeling disadvantaged. 5 Avoid assigning tasks to employees you meet in person just because they are there. 5 Learn how to use Teams as a proximity tool. It is a window between
your office and that of your colleagues and employees. 5 Gather your team in person when possible, such as at the end of the fiscal year, to celebrate successes, important moments and to socialize as a team. 5 Use available technologies and encourage your team to do the same and innovate.
