1) Provide Air Cover
2) Provide Resources
3) Provide Direction
4) Get the F out of the way.
My first 1:1 is usually a reminder of this, basically "How can I help you be successful, what can I do to protect you, get you the resources you need and get the F out of your way?"
I'm always coaching my team "What is your passion?" because I believe if you work in your passion you don't work a day of your life. To me my goal should be to help my team find that passion, sometimes that is beyond the confines of my group. I play the long game, I've helped many people move beyond the group I was working in. Years later some have came back with gratitude and a lot of learning about themselves and what works, and more importantly what doesn't work for them in a partnership.
Life is short, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey and all the amazing people you meet along the way.
Stop managing people, start being a partner to the people you work with no matter where they sit in your organization.
