Unleashing Success: Align Your Values and Build Relationships to Drive Remarkable Results
In my coaching practice, one of my favourite – and most effective tools – is Values Cards. Among all the values, 'success' is a very popular one and stands out as particularly intriguing. Success can mean different things to different people. So, to truly gauge success, we must first understand the purpose behind it.
One crucial factor that I find critical to success, especially in corporate settings or not-for-profit organisations, is aligning objectives. As a team, we must strive to find a common purpose, working towards a shared goal post that benefits everyone involved. The results that follow such alignment are truly incredible and beautiful to witness.
The question remains for many leaders: how do we get to that stage of alignment?
The answer lies in knowing your people. Like any thriving relationship, it takes effective communication, unwavering commitment and genuine understanding. Over the years, I have been fortunate to work on projects for large corporations, designing recruitment strategies, integration processes, and various rewards and recognition programs. Over time, I have witnessed first-hand the power of cultivating loyalty, increasing retention and achieving outstanding results.
As a leader, my primary goal was always to set my team up for success. To achieve that, I always create an environment that fosters feedback. This step involves seeking input from your team and providing constructive feedback in return. We have all been through 360 reviews. But rather than paying lip service, what truly matters is making these reviews count. Embrace the opportunity to listen and learn. If your staff members are engaged enough to listen and provide constructive criticism, congratulations! The conversation and journey to success have begun.
