Question: I took lots of great notes from the Re:Imagine Leadership Summit last month. When I got back to my office, I got caught up in answering unread emails, and fell right back into undressed problems. Do you have any recommendations about how to effectively implement solutions that I learned at your conference?
Question: I’ve been working with a new team since January. For the most part, we’ve done a good job pulling together and building relationships. Most of us have worked with each other in some capacity for several years. There is one person on the team that I don’t think my boss chose well. Should I tell my boss about my doubts?
Question: Now that the first quarter of 2018 is ending, I find myself sliding out of my New Year’s resolution to plan my priorities for the next day before I leave the office each evening. I had a streak of several weeks in January and February, but in March I started slipping. I really enjoyed the clarity that planning gave me. Can you suggest ways to help me sustain this new habit?
Question: I’ve been hearing a lot lately about developing a personal brand, but I’m not sure how to do it without coming off as self-promoting. What advice can you share about how women in business can build a personal brand?
Question: Our annual senior leadership retreat is coming up this month. Every year, we leave the retreat with a list of commitments to improve our culture by improving ourselves as leaders. We don’t have a formal system of holding ourselves accountable, but I would like to hold myself personally accountable. Do you have any suggestions for how to build a “no excuses” mentality?
Question: Annual performance reviews are coming up. As a manager, I know that it’s my responsibility to give both positive and constructive feedback. But giving constructive feedback is not something I’m very good at. I often find myself making excuses for my team members’ underperformance. Do you have any suggestions for given constructive feedback instead of mixed messages?
