Ep#83 Self-Managing Teams
As leaders, we might be tempted to ..ahem.. over-manage our teams, but in fact the greatest success is much more likely to come from teaching them to self-manage and letting their collective creative genius rip! Here we will talk about the 3 steps to building effective self-managed teams, which are: Letting go of micro-management and the disempowering urge to solve your team's problems for them; Hiring people for the right attitude, or empowering the people you have to rise to the occasion; and Training them how to successfully self-manage in a productive and cohesive way.Once you have your people self-managing, and they know how they got there, you can continually raise the bar on what they can achieve. They will now be working for you, instead of you working for them.Packed with the best tips I have learned from various people, this is blueprint for getting started.Show Notes:Ep#78 I Have to Solve Every Problem https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/12754182-ep-78-i-have-to-solve-every-problemEp#66 Team Leadership https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/12065378-ep-66-leadership-skills-2-team-leadershipEp#67 Change How You Lead https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/12065382-ep-67-leadership-skills-3-3-top-tips-that-will-change-how-you-leadEp#81 Performative Productivity https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/12891737-ep-81-how-performative-productivity-slows-you-down10x is Easier than 2x, Dan Sullivan https://www.amazon.com/10x-Easier-Than-World-Class-Entrepreneurs-ebook/dp/B0BGK74SR5/Big Potential, Shawn Achor https://www.amazon.com/Big-Potential-Transforming-Achievement-Well-Being/dp/1524761532 Atomic Habits, James Clear https://www.amazon.com/Atomic-Habits-James-Clear-audiobook/dp/B07J1PMF1HThe 4 Stages of Psychological Safety, Timothy R Clark https://www.amazon.com/Stages-Psychological-Safety-Inclusion-Innovation/dp/1523087684Send us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Get 1-on-1 burnout recovery coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comFor even more TIPS see FACEBOOK: @coachdexrandallINSTAGRAM: @coachdexrandallLINKEDIN: @coachdexrandallX: @coachdexrandallSee https://linktr.ee/coachdexrandall for all links

Ep#82 The Anxious Leader
Anxiety is the main axis around which all the other symptoms of burnout revolve and it's especially so for leaders, whose distress might be amplified by the distress of the people they lead. Many of us are promoted into leadership without much training, and rarely do we receive instruction on how to lead high-performing teams. So it's likely that however we worked prior to leadership is how we fundamentally still work, but with added responsibility and anxiety.The question we can ask ourselves then is not HOW we want to lead but WHO we want to be, as leaders.So today, I'm addressing the stigma of leadership anxiety, how to relate to it and how to manage it.Show Notes Ep#1 to #3 Burnout recovery https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/9458245-ep-1-burnout-101-what-exactly-is-burnouthttps://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/9458714-ep-2-what-type-of-person-gets-burnout-and-whyhttps://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/9458729-ep-3-what-to-do-if-you-re-in-burnout-and-want-your-mojo-back Ep#4 Anxiety https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/9459162-ep-4-how-to-manage-anxiety-at-work Ep#5 Overwhelm and Overwork https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/9459179-ep-5-how-to-fix-overwork-and-overwhelm Ep#36 Championing Yourself https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/10780250-ep-36-championing-yourself Ep#78 I have to Solve Every Problem https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/12754182-ep-78-i-have-to-solve-every-problem Ep#80 Taming Your Inner Critic https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/12863246-ep-80-top-5-tips-to-tame-your-inner-criticSend us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Get 1-on-1 burnout recovery coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comFor even more TIPS see FACEBOOK: @coachdexrandallINSTAGRAM: @coachdexrandallLINKEDIN: @coachdexrandallX: @coachdexrandallSee https://linktr.ee/coachdexrandall for all links

Ep#81 How performative productivity slows you down
Performative productivity sound good. Doesn't it?But in burnout, it isn't. It's looking like you're being productive, without actually delivering the deep value that's expected of you. It's looking busy, but feeling jaded and cynical.Here we will explore the signs of performative productivity and why you might be working this way.Then we'll look at alternatives that will empower you and your team to become more successful, engaged and mutually supportive, so that you can deliver top class results with less effort, less friction and more fun.I also include the traits I hire for, as an inclusive and people-centred leader. This has been so successful for me, I teach all my clients how to open up their leadership skills-base in the same way.

Ep#79 Don't let dissociation keep you in burnout
Many of us dissociate when confronted with overwhelming uncomfortable emotions. It's a habit we pick up as children, that we could easily drop as adults, when we have greater emotional resilience. Yet we don't. Particularly in burnout. We can employ dissociation to withdraw further and further from a reality that has become increasingly painful. Here we explore the mechanism of dissociation and some techniques to work skillfully to reduce it, since the price we pay for dissociation is not being present to our human experience and to the important people in our lives.Show NotesEp#32 Shame https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/10540254-ep-32-5-steps-to-manage-shameEp#38 Creating Safety https://www.burnouttoleadership.com/1849743/10799771-ep-38-creating-safetySend us a text----------------------------------- Burnout Resources:Get 1-on-1 burnout recovery coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comFor even more TIPS see FACEBOOK: @coachdexrandallINSTAGRAM: @coachdexrandallLINKEDIN: @coachdexrandallX: @coachdexrandallSee https://linktr.ee/coachdexrandall for all links

Listen to these tips on letting go of trying to solve EVERY problem for everyone. This is the key to stronger leadership, higher performance and deeper reward at work, whether you are an employee or the boss.
