So you train them to get instruction from you on every little step until, at one point, you shut down your team's creativity.” (10:37-:1056)• “It's really hard as a manager not to redo something. So if you're redoing the entire approach, that's a problem. If you're asking someone clarifying questions about the approach just to make sure they thought it through, that's okay.”(16:30-16:45)• “You need to treat other people that you work with as partners. View them as partners, not silos, not people who are getting in your way, but actual partners. And the way you change your language with them as a partner will affect the outcomes you get.” (21:51-22:07)• “The next stage of growth in a career, you have to get comfortable with conflict.” (25:10-25:15)• “It's very important… that people can trust that what you say is what you mean. And so then it gives you the freedom to share both good and negative feedback. It builds trust rather than breaks trust.” (27:01-27:14)• “Learning to work on the right things and see what's broken and fix, it is probably the most valuable skillset anybody can bring to a business.”(37:32-37:41)• “You got to align your people so they know what winning looks like. If they don't know what winning looks like, they're going to choose what they think winning looks like. And it might not be what winning looks like for you.” (41:25-41:25)Connect with Tessa WhiteWebsite: https://doctortessawhite.com/IG: @jobdoctortessaTwitter: @jobdoctortessaTikTok: @jobdoctortessaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tessawhitejobdoctorResources mentioned: How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job by Marshall Goldsmith and Sally HelgesenThe Power of One by Bryce CourtenayInvestHER CON Time: June 23-24 Place: Charlotte, NCInvestHER CON is a full circle transformational experience created with the women investors’ needs, desires, and schedules in mind.
