The Importance of Getting to Know the Team
Suggested Strategy: Using a Third-Party Question, ask the individual to
think about their relationship with the members of their team from a
different perspective.
Suggested Questions:
→ Third-Party Question: If we were to ask the members of the team how
well they think you know them and how much time you have taken to get
to know them, what do you think they might say about their perception
and why?
→ Risk Question: What risks do you think you might mitigate by taking
time to get to know the people on your team better?
Suggested Activities:
→ Whiteboard Coaching: On the left side of a whiteboard, write down
how the individual would currently describe their relationships with the
members of their team. On the right side, write down what they would
describe as the ideal relationship between a leader and their team.
Erase the left side of the board and create a strategy together for them
to put into place to get to know their team better. The goal is for the
intention of the leader to build relationships with the members of their
team is the same as the team’s perception, hopefully adjusting it from
the perception discussed at the beginning of your coaching session
toward a positive one by learning more about the members of the team.
