Through trust, clear direction and feedback each person understands and acts on
You're leading people because of your great work. Now your success depends on bringing out the best in each person on your team.
If you’ve ever wondered why the same direction or feedback works for one person and not another, you’ll learn why and what to do about it.
No two people are wired the same. One person wants feedback straight; another wants context first. One wants the big picture; another wants the details. When you lead each person the way they're wired, small adjustments add up to a high-performing team.
In four weeks, you'll learn practical ways to:
Give direction each person understands the first time
Build trust in the form each person recognizes
Give snackable feedback and set clear accountability
Coach judgment so people solve problems without you
The course builds on the frameworks in Leslie Ferry's book The Career Edge: Closing the Gap Between Intent and Impact.
What you’ll learn
Lead each person the way they’re wired, so issues get handled while they’re small and your team does its best work.
What each work style needs to feel clear: the reasoning, the details, the human impact, or the bottom line
How to deliver the same direction in different forms so each person understands it the first time
How each style recognizes ability, integrity, and care, and what counts as proof for each
How to start rebuilding trust that has slipped, one small action at a time
How to give snackable feedback and set clear accountability so issues never build up
How to coach judgment through questions, and prepare for the conversations that are still needed
