Managers Build Trust And Respect By Letting Go
Managers Build Trust And Respect By Letting Go
That means, as the big boss when you attend meetings and other attendees are less senior, you maybe restricting the thinking, the talking, the debate.
Why?
Just because you are the big boss.
This may not be your intention but just because you are there, others will act differently.
As the most senior person at the meeting, others will look to you for the ideas. They will expect you to have the ideas. That will restrict their thinking.
Have you attended a meeting recently and you are the most senior person in attendance?
Have you noticed how others tend to talk to you or look at you to see your reaction to what is being said?
Next time you attend a meeting, watch the body language, watch how people behave in front of you.
Moreover, if you do have ideas, others will naturally follow you, agree with you because you are the big boss.
They may be afraid not to follow you, not to agree with you.
Others may think they are being outspoken if they disagree with you. They may think it may harm their career. They may think you will no longer like them or build a grudge against them.
You may be the best manager in the world, not hold grudges against others, want others to speak out and share their ideas and don’t care if others don’t agree with you.
However, no matter how you behave, no matter how you manage, others will naturally ‘hold back’ on their talking and input.
Build trust by not attending.
Trust others to raise great ideas, action plans and agree the way forward by not attending the meeting in the first place.
Others will see you as trustworthy and that builds your respect.
It also allows you to spend time on other activities.
Don’t you go to too many meetings anyway?

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
