Tech leaders tell me in our conversations that they love technology and enjoy contributing individually but the people management part 🅕🅡🅤🅢🅣🅡🅐🅣🅔🅢 them: 🔴 the tough conversations when performance needs to be enhanced, 🔴 the fact that nobody taught them the soft skills and techniques needed to lead their teams to the next level, 🔴 the conflicts that arise when they need to bring people together and why on earth don't people just do it. Just like you (and me when I led teams as a manager in Ericsson), they want an engaged and high-performing team for the company - their efficiency, productivity and business goals depend on it. To end with low engagement, "sick days", and create positive engineering team cultures, I partner with tech leaders for reinforcing and enhancing their strengths, communications and leadership behaviours. From junior to C-suite. Remote, onsite or multi-cultural and diverse teams. We should definitely talk when you notice these signs in your team: 👉 Frequent conflicts among team members and as a result, tense relationships making collaboration difficult. 👉 Low trust and lack of familiarity towards each other. 👉 Ideas not being shared for fear of blaming and finger-pointing. 👉 Poor cohesion, as if team members were going in different directions despite the common delivery goals and KPIs. 👉 People stepping on each others toes or delaying decisions due to unclear roles. 📧 Reach out to me here on LinkedIn or email me at hello@rekanikoletta.com to discuss your growth goals and discover how to uplevel your leadership for optimising the performance of your team.
