It's episode 100! Thank you for listening to the Lead Every Day Show! Tell us what you think about the show in this short survey: https://bit.ly/led-survey In today's episode, Mark and Randy talk about the value of scorecards for your team. Make the score visible to everyone so they can see how you're doing. Hold it loosely, and don't try to measure too many things at once!
It is a gift when people know what they're supposed to be doing. But when it's unclear, productivity and engagement will suffer. Give everyone clarity on their role—including yourself!
Similar to purpose, goals give focus, energy, urgency, and help everyone understand when corrective action is needed. When everyone shares the same goal, it's a poerful thing!
Why does your team exist? If we asked them what their purpose is, what would they say? People want to be aligned, and they don't want to sit aorund wasting their time because they don't know why they're doing what they're doing. Give your team a purpose and that clarity will be liberating to everyone.
Apart from being a buzzword from the last several years, diversity is a really important piece of building high performance teams. But diversity might not always mean what we think it does. That's what Mark and Randy kick off this week's episodes discussing.
