The #1 Leader's Principle That Helps Them Make A Project Work Without Burning Their Team
What is the most important psychological need?
It is not easy to be in middle management where you want your boss to be happy, your project to work, and your team not to burn out!
This keeps you awake in the night, you have a cycle of thoughts on how to solve it. Everyone is tense, they come to you with different problems, and burning situations and you want to stay calm so that everybody else does not run crazy.
And this is not only once, it is not only a period, it is happening all the time. This is your job.
You did imagine it differently when you took the leadership position. And now it is different.
What can you do about it?
“The only thing you can control is how you react to things that are not in your control”
This phrase I got as an insight from an amazing person being a team member in a retrospective session. It is inspired by the ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus.
It is bringing awareness to how you react to specific situations.
One thing you can do and also inspire your team to do is to CONNECT before COLLABORATE.
When people are connected, they enjoy working together.
Then their cognitive performance goes higher, they feel safe to co-create and build amazing outcomes. The project is working great. They stay in the company. You perform because they perform. It is a cycle here that many people are not aware of.
Bottom line:
Connection is so important because it is the #1 basic psychological need. From when you were born (even before) until now it has been like this. Why does it not matter in work situations as well? The only way to collaborate is to create a rapport between two persons. This is where the magic happens. Don’t you want to get there and enjoy your work?
