Start-up coach and trainer David McNeill knows more than a thing or two about solving complex business problems and enabling great teams. In this series, he shares tips on effective delegation from his 30 years of experience in managing diverse businesses and mentoring leaders.

Why Effective Delegation Results In Success

Delegation is an essential skill in successful leadership, and it is possible to master it. It is the solution to be more productive, develop a stronger team, and lead a happier life. Learn how failing to delegate is undermining your leadership. Here's why it is imperative to delegate.

Rise in organizational authority leads to a decrease in organizational IQ. Leaders' accessibility is a casualty of growing organizations. Build trust by delegating.

If you are unsure of what to delegate and the volume of work to be handed out, this will provide direction. Understanding your weaknesses and others' strengths can help. Identify projects that are holding up other key developments and hand out the job to your team instead.

Delegate jobs that you are not good at and others are strong in. Don't delegate just tasks, give authority to grow leaders.

As a leader, you are responsible for the outcome of projects, so it pays to enable your delegates without diving in too deep. Learn how to tread the fine line between outlining the objective without getting too involved in these three steps.

Bring clarity to the project. Share your insight but let the delegate figure out the how of getting the job done.

You delegated work but the outcome is not how you visualized it at the outset. Acknowledging that everyone handles problems in their unique ways can help. Resist the urge to take back control. Keep these five mission-critical points in mind as you hand out responsibility.

Delegated Projects Won't Always Go Perfectly

When things go wrong, lead the way by letting the team own their actions. Be ready to be uncomfortable with your delegation.

Have you planned to be unavailable at work for a while, days, weeks, without stressing out on the finer details? The answer to that lies in aligning projects and the people that you handle. In an ever-changing world, keeping these four things in mind will help run the organization productively.

Leaders need to keep identifying and encouraging opportunities for individuals and teams to expand their responsibilities.

Leaders often rely on jargon instead of understanding how the brain drives behavior and performance. Lauren Houghton explains how applying the SCARF model helps leaders manage social triggers, keep teams in reward mode, and elevate collaboration. Her evidence-based approach strengthens cultures, improves decision-making, and accelerates organizational impact.

Brain-based Leadership By Lauren Houghton

Former Chairman of Microsoft India Bhaskar Pramanik's rich experience of over four decades is distilled in this series as he speaks of disruption, changing notions of diversity among other management wisdom.

Bhaskar Pramanik tells us about the measures taken to achieve diversity and inclusion in the workforce at Microsoft and why it is important to achieve diversity and inclusion in an organization.

Diversity is inbuilt, relate it to the mission. It is essential to build a high-performance organization and innovation. Listening to the millennial workforce and customers, tap future talent by building bridges with diverse institutions.

Why is the ability to jointly meet the customer’s demand, more important than winning or losing for IT companies? Bhaskar Pramanik tells us why companies should focus on collaboration and not competition in order to be successful.

Unique capabilities and differences of partners script mutual success. Obsess about the customer, not competition. You don't lose If then the customer wins when you make a difference.

Bhaskar Pramanik’s take on why achieving diversity and inclusion at the workplace should be of great importance to an organization, and the company benefits in the long run by making its environment more inclusive.

Why Leaders Should Aim For Diversity And Inclusion

Be aware of unconscious biases. Diversity is about gender, multi-generation, differently-abled, and multiculturalism. It is important that the organization keeps in mind all kinds of diversity without any blind spots.

Bhaskar Pramanik tells us about Microsoft’s successful transition from a traditional software business to cloud computing, and how did the company manage the transition differently than other bigger organizations.

How Microsoft Pulled Off A Brilliant Transformation

To make a difference, align with a common mission, define and play by a strategy executed by a diverse and inclusive team. Get feedback also from those who are not your customers to gain insight into varied segments.

Bhaskar Pramanik on how organizations should adapt themselves and reorganize during disruption. He suggests the ways leaders can enable disruption in the organization and why they need to change their outlook regarding the technology and customers.

To enable disruption, change the way you think and run the business or view customers. Keeping one organization while maintaining the ability to perform, transform, and learn allows disruptive technology to accelerate.

Bhaskar Pramanik shares an interesting story about how Microsoft has been trying to tackle the issue of software piracy, by using a value-based sales approach.

Your organization should reach out to its customers with a higher degree of humility while delivering value. Arm-twisting might get your work done in the short run, but you risk losing your customer.

What can a colony of penguins teach you about organizational change? A lot, according to Our Iceberg is Melting authors, John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber. From setting up for change, making it happen, to leading the team through difficult waters, it is time to learn from the penguins. Mike Lynn, a principal at thoughtLEADERS, LLC shares penguin wisdom that can be easily applied to your organization.

Our Iceberg Is Melting: John Kotter And Holger Rathgeber

Authors John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber explore how to drive change when facing a crisis. Find out if you have the four things required to not just survive but also thrive in difficult times: great leadership, the right team, consistent messaging, and an action-oriented approach.

Penguins thrive in groups. So, what do they do when the first signs of change show up? How do they navigate and predict what is to come? Meet Fred, the penguin who teaches a colony about preparation, teamwork, strategies for adapting to change, and efforts to convince the opposition.

Group effort can change even the most rigid mindsets with successful storytelling and an appeal to aspirations. It is possible to initiate change at the individual level and then gather the team to effect it.

It takes all kinds of personalities to make up the world, like the penguin colony. Fred and his supporters rally together as they advance in their mission for change. Meet relatable characters that you would no doubt come across in your personal and professional life and learn how to handle each of them efficiently.

Understand the personalities affecting the change effort and predict their behaviors. In doing so, you can prepare better for possible opposition.

This video draws parallels to the penguin story of change and shows how to apply these lessons at the organizational level. Initially, you might have to focus others' attention on what can happen if the change fails to register. Talk about aspirations and how the modified status is an improvement.

Look for unconventional sources of inspiration. Involve as many people to ensure that change is sustainable and continues to grow. Clear communication and sharing stories of incremental success are effective in driving the transition.

Kotter and Rathgeber script successful change in eight steps. This video details the first three. Steps one and two are about preparing for the transition, while the third looks into the future. Find out how to begin.

For change to be effective, there must be a clear sense of urgency that rouses everyone to act. Keep an experienced and able guiding core team ready. Create a vision for the changed future so that the efforts can align with it.

Now that the planning and prepping steps are complete, get started on steps four to seven: executing the change process. Watch complacency, fear, and confusion dispelled as clarity emerges in favor of the transition.

Create buy-in by appealing to the aspirations of the group with storytelling. Build momentum in favor of change by working on naysayers at the individual level. Pursue the vision relentlessly until it is real.

Change is afoot by now. So can you make it stick? Creating habits out of new behaviors is just one way of doing it. Keep watching for more clues.

It is crucial to keep evolving throughout the process for the change to be effective. The rigors of the first change make consecutive changes easier. Remember to reward change agents for their efforts.

Change is all about group effort. Changing culture means modifying old ways of working too. Take a look at these examples of organizations and the mistakes they committed when recognizing and effecting change.

Shake off complacency by deciding to act on time. It is about realizing that nothing is permanent and transitioning to better your situation or widening the options requires time and effort but ultimately pays off for everyone concerned.

This series helps understand the phenomenon of Maria Sharapova and what made her "unstoppable’" As one of only 10 women to win a career Grand Slam, her's is a story of power and resilience.

Five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova's accomplishments are not the story of Unstoppable. She shows her vulnerabilities, resilience and the role her father played in building her determination.

Sharapova refused to go down the path of her contemporaries. The sinker ball specialist (not the norm at the time) never cared about being laughed at for her different approach.

Sharapova And The Unusual Path Of The Sinker Ball

When Yuri Sharapov landed in Florida with his seven-year-old daughter Maria and $700 in the pocket, he had nothing to lose. Offers came his way but he said no. They implied a compromise, which he refused to take.

Saying no at the right time can create unexpected possibilities. Especially when a yes would be a compromise.

Toughness is not just about muscle and power, it is also about endurance. Sharapova learnt to build this attribute as a four-year-old.

Toughness is more than hitting the ball hard. In any discipline, toughness is maintaining focus, bearing the pain, enduring the boring repetition and grueling schedule, often for years.

Being unstoppable is not just about surging ahead. It means pausing to take stock, Sharapova calls those the gut-check moments.

In a hinge moment, you have to consider the consequences of your actions and let your gut be your guide. A gut check tells you who you really are.

Find out how Maria Sharapova stretched herself, even as an eight-year-old. She learned to take old tools and make them work for her.

When you stop growing in your work or face disapointment, don't give up. Think of new ways to use your old tools.

Here's how Sharapova left behind all the humiliation and second-guessing by not making a big deal about failure.

From setbacks, extract an understanding of what needs fixing. Handle it, bank the memory of the experience, and move on.

Hone the mental preparation that goes into being the best. The hurdles will be many but learn what it takes to be better than the person on the other side.

Good careers are built on imperfect days. To win, you don't need to be flawless, just better than the person across the net that day.

Learn how to coach employees for performance and development more effectively by helping them identify and pursue their own solutions. Sabrina Smith, a principal at thoughtLEADERS, LLC shows you how to create the right environment and conditions to help them grow.

In this course, you’ll learn what coaches do to drive these kinds of business results. You’ll also discover how to coach your team to unlock their greatest potential.

People who are coached at work have improved communication skills are more effective individual contributors, and they increase their ability to exceed their goals.

At the heart of coaching is learning how to have a conversation with someone. This kind of conversation empowers others to gain clarity about the desired goal and the desired outcome, as well as get clarity around the actions it will take to achieve their goal.

By coaching your people on how to develop new skills and improve performance, you’re grooming the next generation of leaders for your organization.

Training and coaching are two different things altogether. As a coach, your role is to facilitate someone’s thinking and help them learn by working on live or real workplace issues they face each day.

When trying to develop your employees, know when they need training and know when they need coaching. There’s a big difference between the two.

Training is designed to teach general knowledge and skills.

Mentoring is a great way to share personal experiences to help someone develop.

As a coach, it’s not necessary for a coach to be senior in position or authority to the person they’re coaching.

Be aware of when a coaching conversation begins to turn personal - it could be crossing over into more of a counseling conversation.

When it comes to mentoring, a mentor is commonly a senior person who advises their mentee based on their personal experiences.

Understand when to engage in a feedback conversation versus when to begin a coaching conversation.

Coaching on the job focuses on workplace performance that begins with a goal or an aspiration of the employee. Counseling focuses on personal problems faced by the employee, so it begins with an emphasis on a problem the employee is facing.

As a leader, one of the ways you can cultivate a positive culture in the workplace is by providing employees meaningful feedback on a regular basis.

Coaching is a future-focused conversation that engages the employee by focusing on performance development towards a future goal. Feedback is event-driven and generally led by a person’s supervisor.

Coaching is a future-focused conversation that engages the employee by focusing on performance development towards a future goal.

Feedback is helpful information or constructive observations that are shared with someone so they can obtain, sustain, and/or improve performance.

An example of a structured feedback conversation.

Creating A Coaching Environment – Trust

There are four core areas you need to focus on to create a great coaching environment: establishing trust, demonstrate presence, active listening, and asking the right questions

Creating A Coaching Environment – Presence

Remaining fully present during the coaching session enables you to comfortably and candidly engage in the coaching conversation.

Establishing trust is foundational to your coaching sessions. This session covers many ways to establish trust during coaching conversations.

Creating A Coaching Environment – Listening

There are three levels to listening effectively. Learn the ways to expand upon your ability to develop your listening skills.

Before entering a coaching conversation, be sure you have the ability to remain focused and fully present throughout the conversation. This establishes trust and lets the person know you're there with them.

Creating A Coaching Environment – Questions

Creating a great coaching environment requires you to ask great questions.

Listening is a crucial skill to employ as a coach. It is through active listening that we hear keywords and phrases that help us hone in on the root cause and ask probing and effective questions to help guide the employee to what will be most helpful to them overall.

Great coaches are adept at getting to the core issues that people face.

Creating a great coaching environment requires you to ask great questions. Great questions can generate curiosity by your employee and supports their ability to surface assumptions about their performance. Your goal is to provoke thought around topics of discussion, so the employee searches for meaning and to explores options that aid them in achieving their goals.

Having a clearly defined purpose will set the stage for the rest of your coaching conversations.

The PROBES model provides a simple, repeatable process you can use as a coach to get to the heart of the issues and create a plan they have a good chance of success at completing.

Once a person has clarity around the reality of their current performance, you can focus the coaching conversation on helping them find ways to develop towards achieving their performance goals.

Purpose is the first area of focus in a coaching conversation. When establishing purpose with your employee, you’re helping them identify the goal or desired outcome of the coaching conversation, gain clarity around that outcome, and clarify the success measures that will be used to validate if the goal has been achieved.

Avoiding judgement and not offering suggestions demonstrates your belief that the person being coached can generate creative options to achieve their goals.

The second step in the PROBES coaching model is to define Reality. What that means is helping your employee gain clarity about where they are now and how it affects their ability to achieve their future goals.

Encouraging the person being coached to choose developmental actions for goal achievement creates full accountability and ownership of their performance.

The third step in the PROBES model is to generate Options. It’s during this part of the conversation that the coach helps the employee create a bridge between the current reality and the goals they want to achieve. This is accomplished by asking questions to generate possible ideas that could serve as solutions to reach their goals.

It’s important that the person being coached demonstrates commitment to the plan. This helps you focus your coaching sessions on obstacles they may face and ways they can overcome them.

The fourth step of the PROBES coaching model is to Build a Plan. Now that the employee has brainstormed various options to achieve their goals, they need to select the best ideas for performance improvement. They’ll then turn those ideas into an action plan that outlines what needs to happen next.

Having a clear plan increases the chances of the person being coached achieving their goals. Your role moving forward is to provide the support needed to help your employees achieve success as they execute their plan.

Coaching is as much about building a relationship with your employee as it is about them achieving their goals, so make certain to keep any commitments you make to them. Doing so builds confidence and trust in you as their coach and can serve as a point of inspiration to help them remain committed to their goals.

Create a great coaching environment by establishing trust, being fully present during coaching conversations, listening actively, and ask great questions that provoke reflection, awareness, and options during coaching sessions.

A critical task for a leader is to create a climate that enables employees to succeed. After this lesson, you'll be able to help employees reach their full potential.
