  Ep 230 - How to Build Trust in Your Team - By Assuming Their Competence

  Aug 17, 202615 min

  Productivity, competence and trust are all intertwined And today, we are exploring how essential it is for a leader to identify where people are strong, rather than to assume they will fail. It is easy to slip into negative habits that erode trust in the team. Habits such as: Excluding people from decision making Talking over them Not delegating and micromanaging Delegating only low-impact tasks Telling people how to do things Assuming they will fail or make a mess of things Today we are taking a step back and looking at the power of the question: " How is this person smart?" * Thus identifying the strengths of your team and then playing to them. * A question posed by Liz Wiseman in her book, Multipliers Rebecca, on building trust in the team: "When you assume someone is capable on your team, you help them focus. They are not distracted, worrying about how they will be perceived or if their work is valuable and valued - they simply get on with the task and are highly productive."

  Ep 229 - The Value of Having an Independent Coach Outside of Work, with coaching client Jen Snaith

  Aug 3, 202618 min

  As Rebecca's client Jen nears the end of her coaching program, she opens up about her coaching experience, what she learned and the benefits of working with Rebecca. What is a career and leadership coaching session like? What outcomes might a client get out of a coaching session, or program? Is coaching worth the investment? These are just some of the questions Rebecca's client Jen is talking about in today's episode. If you have ever been curious about how a career and leadership coach could partner with you to help you realise new levels of fulfilment and success in your career, this is the episode for you. Jen, on her coaching experience with Rebecca Allen: "When thinking about working with you, I saw the value in speaking to someone external to my industry. To grow, you really do need to open up and not shield yourself, which is easier to do with someone outside. As well as getting a pay rise the coaching also freed up a lot of time I was wasting procrastinating - there's no dollar value you can put on that."

  Ep 228 - The Primary Role of a Leader: To Develop Others

  Jul 6, 202610 min

  In today's episode we are exploring the primary role of a team leader and I am sharing some of the coaching questions I might ask a leader to help them develop team capability. Today we’re talking about a question every corporate leader eventually faces: “What is my primary role as a team leader?” Is it simply to deliver results? Is it to control outcomes? Or to take responsibility when things go wrong ? Or, is leadership actually about developing people so the team can consistently perform at a higher level and behave autonomously? This is what we are talking about today on the podcast - what the primary role of the leader truly is. I am also sharing 3 powerful coaching questions I might ask a leader, working with me for executive coaching, to help them develop team capability. Rebecca, on asking yourself different questions as leader: "A leader who only focuses on targets may get short-term performance - while a leader who develops capability builds long-term performance. The question shifts from: “How do I get this done?”, to “How do I help my team become capable, confident, accountable, and high performing?” Links: Get a copy of Rebecca's 7 Strategic Shifts to Position You as a High-Impact Leader Book a free 15 minute Career Strategy call with Rebecca to get your career off to a fresh start.

  Ep 226 - Why Some New Leaders Fail to Build Team Engagement

  Jun 8, 202615 min

  Today we’re talking about a situation that comes up sometimes in leadership coaching engagements - a newly appointed leader who inherits an existing team and then struggles to establish credibility. This is one of the reasons organisations bring me in as a leadership coach. On paper, promoting this person to leader makes sense. The leader is capable, experienced, technically strong, maybe high-performing in previous roles. But then they step into a new leadership position with an inherited team… and things start to wobble. Maybe the team doesn’t fully buy in. Momentum slows. Relationships become strained. The leader starts second-guessing themselves. In today’s episode we are exploring why this transition can be so hard and how coaching can help the leader build engagement and thrive. Rebecca, on taking a step back in the first few days and weeks of your new leadership role: "What makes it particularly difficult is that many new leaders think they need to prove themselves quickly. So they overcompensate. They move too fast. And they try to establish authority before establishing trust."
