Tim and Junior continue their Leadership Journey series by diving into part two on leading teams. They discuss the challenges leaders face when transitioning from individual contributor to managing others.
0:02:15 - Transitioning from independent contributor to leading a team requires a fundamental shift in mindset and skills. It's often under supported by organizations.
0:08:50 - The team is the basic unit of performance for solving complex problems, not the individual. Adopting a team mindset is critical.
0:13:06 - Promoted leaders can struggle with the loss of their technical identity and skills which defined them previously.
0:19:52 - Building trust enables teams to accomplish more together. The components of trust are integrity, mutual respect, competence, communication and initiative.
0:36:35 - Effective coaching is not telling. It's collaborative, leverages strengths and transfers ownership and critical thinking.
