The best leaders have great coaching and mentoring skills, in fact, in an interview with Michael Jordan, he said that ‘only when he realised he needed to become better at bringing out the skills of his team’ did they start winning NBA Championships. Develop your Mentoring skills to enhance cohesion amongst your team.
As the leader, to get your team in ‘sync’, you need to become a cultural ambassador and get better at promoting the values that you want to be expressed in your organisation. This is reflected in their words and actions…
There is a hidden dialogue in all language all behaviors and all actions. It is a dialogue of values.
When a team member says one thing but does another – it is not intentional disrespect or even disobedience but rather their un-awareness of how values should be demonstrated.
This is why it is important that as the Cultural Ambassador you are clear in the WHY, the WHAT and the HOW of values expression.
Some of the key lessons for you as the cultural ambassadors is to:
- Understand the mindset of a cultural ambassador;
- Recognise how to improve the morale of your team;
- Discover the magic of leadership coaching skills; and
- Review development strategies in alignment with the future vision of the brand.
If you are curious about how this contributes to your personal and professional growth as a leader then right now is the time to review the benchmarks for what will form the foundations of yours and your team’s success.
