1. The F.I.R.S.T. Tip

As a people manager, for long-term success, striking a balance between delivering business results and nurturing your team's confidence and capability is crucial. By focusing on both, you foster a motivated and engaged team that thrives on challenges, adapts to change, and drives innovation. 

Here are three ways to enhance the confidence and capability of your team and unlock their full potential: 

1. Have A Personal Development Plan for Each Team Member                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Engage in regular conversations to gain insights into their strengths, ideas, concerns, and challenges. Provide constructive feedback and offer support, demonstrating your belief in their capabilities. Equip them with necessary resources, training opportunities, and mentorship.

2. Delegate Meaningful Tasks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Consider each team member's career aspirations and accordingly entrust them with meaningful tasks to demonstrate that you value their abilities and trust them to handle important assignments.

3. Foster a Culture of Continuous Learning                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Continuous learning is essential for personal and professional growth. Encourage and facilitate this growth by creating opportunities like team sharing sessions, workshops, conferences, and access to online courses relevant to your team's areas of interest and expertise.

Tip: Balance between delivering results and developing your team.
