For me at least, a timely reminder with helpful examples.

Observations:

• You feel motivated when you feel seen.
• You tend to disengage when you feel unheard.
• You’re anxious or angry when you feel misunderstood.
• You engage when you feel you matter.

Advice:

• Practice vulnerability. Declare development goals.
• Discuss progress. Let people know how you’re doing.
• Provide clear expectations.
• Recognize strengths publicly. Everyone on the team needs to know the top five strengths of everyone on the team.
• Learn to listen. You can listen without committing to do everything people say.
• Thank people for contributing.
• Accept the human condition. Everyone has weaknesses, even you.
• Practice empathy.
• Affirm people’s energy.
