Happy December.
To support you in being F.I.R.S.T. (Future-Ready. Innovative. Relevant. Strategic. Trusted.), here's 1 tip, 1 question and 1 quote.
1. The F.I.R.S.T. Tip
If you do the most important things first, you won’t get distracted by all the little items that end up mindlessly filling your day.
Tip: Define your big rocks, and lift those first thing in the morning.
2. The F.I.R.S.T. Question
Trust is built when people have faith in our intentions.
We may assume that the other person knows our good intentions, but it is often not as apparent. By being transparent about our intentions, we give people a window into who we are. We are also giving them grounds for trusting what we do because they can better understand why we are doing it.
For example, when having a one-on-one performance management session with your direct report, you may share, “I value this time because my focus is helping you succeed in your career.”
So, do put your intentions on the table up front. You will set up the conversation for deeper connection and listening.
