I learned that talking to our team members about their personal lives is really a big deal to genuinely connect with them. Bringing our relationships to a personal level allows our teams to be more comfortable communicating with us as leaders. We bring our whole selves to work, we don’t leave our families behind. When we engage with them wholeheartedly, we invite them to bring their authentic selves to work.
We used to only coach our teams once a year, but I'm doing it more regularly nowadays and being more intentional on building an inclusive culture. Instead of jumping right into the agenda when I have my one-to-ones with my reports, I’ll spend some time to talk about how we can show malasakit (caring for others) to one another.
Before starting this journey, we were so focused on delivering results that we tend to forget we are dependent on the work of our teams and that we need to continually develop them as people. By being more thoughtful in how I delegate work, I was not only able to provide my reports with opportunities for growth, but I too, can give myself the avenue to grow as a leader.
