Some of your best investments as a leader are team building and manager training.�But do you feel like you can’t afford outside help? Worried that training will be a waste of time and money? ��Here’s another question – how much are you spending on the consequences of low moral and burnout? Can you afford to have people quit with no warning or “quiet quit”, doing the bare minimum and bringing down productivity for the whole team? ��Invest in your team, and look at it as a solution to the potential cost of turnover and low productivity. You can’t afford not to uncover those blind spots.

Here are some Top Tips for addressing underperformance (that don’t involve a PIP!):��Regular 1:1s - these need to be about your direct report’s own growth path and less about the tasks that you’ve asked them to do.�
Awareness - stay aware of how your message is being received. �
Specificity - make sure you’re giving the level of detail you need to give. Are you giving too much detail about tasks, or not enough? Check in with them. Give your employee the tools they need to get the job done.

We all have to do things we don’t want to do but know we have to in order to be successful. So what healthy rituals and coping mechanisms can you create to help you get through those tough moments? It all goes back to drives. Is your drive instinctually telling you that after you leave a big meeting, you need alone-time to recharge? Or is your drive telling you that after you spend a week working on a really hard project, you need to meet up with friends for a good laugh? Whatever it is, make sure you are aware of how your body is trying to recharge after a draining task.

If you feel like you just don’t have enough time, you probably need to take more breaks. Weird, right?

We know, sometimes that workout can feel like just “one more thing” you have to add to your already overflowing to-do list. It’s counter intuitive, but prioritizing exercise is key to helping that to-do list feel less intimidating! If you’re feeling stressed, having trouble sleeping, or not getting as much done as you need to, consider moving more regularly. And if you are managing people who are showing stress and burnout symptoms, consider ways that you can effectively motivate your team to move more throughout the day.
