Michele A. Roy, PCC's Linkedin Analytics

Leading a team can be overwhelming, the personalities and their diverse needs, wants, and hopes streaming into the team conversations. As their leader you want to keep them focused on the most important activities to complete the project, move the business forward and create the desired results. All this is happening against the backdrop of a fast-changing work environment and reduced availability of resources. It takes courage to lead a diverse team. The kind of courage that speaks up for what needs saying, while having the most positive impact on the team. The courage to take the time to observe your team in action before jumping to conclusions and premature decision making. The ability to build relationships across the organisation so that collaboration and innovation has the maximum opportunity to ignite creativity in the team. As a leader you want to be able to highlight your team’s accomplishments and be a great advocate for them, when speaking with the leadership team at the top of the organisation. An objective thinking partner and coach that has the practical understanding and experience to guide you to take one step at a time and make each communication count. A mentor that brings practical tools to you and your team to overcome the doubts that make you hesitate, instead of taking decisive action when needed. Increase your ability to calm the internal negative narrative that can interfere with your confidence. Enable you to bring your inner intelligence to bear on those especially challenging situations, that if ignored, can impact the trust on the team and their trust in your leadership. I have over 25 years’ experience collaborating with leaders and teams at all levels of an organisation’s evolution. At this time in our world, there is a clear and present opportunity to bring excellence into leadership, and enable teams to reinvent themselves, and be the change they want to see in the world.
