Performance evaluations can be inspiring or infuriating. The leader’s work will determine the outcome.
All in Leading others
Operations have returned to normal, but life at home is definitely not normal for many people. Leaders allow people flexibility to balance work and life. Great leaders inspire a cohesive unit climate even while some people work remotely and others carry on as usual.
Leaders make the choices and are responsible for the outcomes, so they tend to trust their own judgment. But what if our judgment is wrong? Great leaders develop others’ ideas even if they don’t initially agree with them, because they know sometimes what seems to be the wrong idea will turn out to be the best idea.
Leading other people is an entirely new workplace experience and it can be scary. But there are a few things you can do to get going in the right direction.
A leader’s first responsibility is to work for their followers’ success. Their second responsibility is to guard the standards, expectations and values of the organization. Finding the right balance between the two is a challenge.
