Getting feedback is a fabulous practice but it can be easier said than done. Instead of asking your team if they have any feedback for you (which can be nebulous and intimidating for them), ask specific questions that are easier for them to answer such as: - what am I doing that’s supporting you? - where am I getting in your way? - how would you have handled that project? - what should I stop, start, or continue? By being specific with your questions you’re more likely to get actionable and helpful answers. You’ll also show that you really do want feedback.

Em minha carreira profissional sempre busquei feedbacks, tanto dos meus lideres quanto dos meus liderados, pois acredito que eles são essenciais para direcionar o meu crescimento. Receber feedback nos permite identificar áreas de melhorias que não podem ser evidente para nos, porem perceptíveis para os outros. Da mesma forma ao fornecer um feedback, ajudamos a analisar nossas ações coletivamente, buscando o aprimoramento de toda equipe.

Buscar e definir novos desafios que nos permite a sair da zona de conforto, desenvolve e aprimora nossas habilidades, e isto é fundamental para que possamos superar com resiliência. Quando encorajamos nossa equipe e mostramos que somos capazes de alcançar níveis de excelência, criamos um ambiente de confiança que fortalece nossos relacionamento.

Reflecting regularly is crucial for developing a growth mindset to meet future team leadership challenges. Take time to evaluate both successes and setbacks, considering what you and your team can learn from each experience. Encourage open discussions about what worked well and where improvements are needed. By consistently reflecting on your actions and decisions, you foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, enabling your team to grow stronger and more resilient in the face of new challenges. This practice ensures ongoing development and prepares everyone for future leadership opportunities.

Developing a growth mindset for future team leadership challenges starts with cultivating curiosity. Encourage yourself and your team to ask questions, seek new perspectives, and explore innovative solutions. Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn rather than obstacles to overcome. By fostering an environment where curiosity is valued, you empower your team to continuously grow and adapt. This mindset not only prepares you for future leadership challenges but also drives creativity and resilience within your team.

Genuine authentic curiosity breeds and fosters connections. When you're building client relationships the extra effort to be absorbed in a real conversation will serve you well.

Supporting others is essential for developing a growth mindset to tackle future team leadership challenges. Encourage your team members by recognizing their efforts and celebrating their successes, no matter how small. Provide constructive feedback and resources to help them overcome obstacles and continuously improve. Show genuine interest in their personal and professional development. By fostering a supportive environment, you help build a resilient, motivated team that embraces learning and growth, preparing everyone to face future challenges with confidence.

Celebrate Effort and Progress: Recognise and celebrate the efforts and progress of your team members, not just the final outcomes. Acknowledge the hard work and dedication that goes into the process of learning and improvement. This reinforces the value of persistence and resilience, which are key components of a growth mindset.
