How Leaders are Impacting Their Team’s Performance

Episode 126 is Part 1 of 2 with Wingspan Performance. 

Chad Lingafelt, Managing Partner of LocDoc Security & Host of the Coffee Break Podcast talks with us about how leaders are impacting team performance.

Show Highlights:

02:40  Rapid Fire Q #1:  What future year are you most looking forward to arriving in?

06:33  Rapid Fire Q #4:  What was an experience that you didn’t think much about that ultimately made you a better person?  (A big life-changing event that made me a better person)

• While we don’t control things outside of ourselves, we control how we decide to respond to things.
• Following your Knowing

14:25  How much are leaders intentionally or unintentionally affecting the performance of their team?

• We’re always teaching people what’s acceptable
• The environment you’re around–you’re either intentionally or unintentionally choosing those behaviors

16:36  “High performer behaviors” in one role work against us in other roles

18:11  It’s critical to explicitly outline both technical skills and behavioral skills that are required/expected for each role

• Stating only technical performance requirements is how a leader will unintentionally contribute to sub-par team performance

21:57  How can we identify when a leader is starting down the path of micromanaging & doing things themselves? And, how do I coach them?

29:07  Developing & documenting processes directly supports higher performance

32:43  A team player that has excelled in Job A isn’t necessarily qualified in the behavioral competencies of Job B (yet that’s typically how we promote employees in our organization)
