Playing hardball with your team is out of date and ineffective.
If youâre a manager of a team - sports, workplace or any other leadership position, this oneâs for you.
Withholding praise when a team performs well, shouting and belittling your team with the goal of pushing them to âbe their bestâ quite simply is a lost cause.
By triggering stress in your team, what youâre doing is driving up cortisol levels. Itâs scientifically impossible to perform your best without managing stress and cortisol, and by taking this approach with your team, youâre having the opposite effect of what youâre intending.
I work with teams, managers and those at all levels of the hierarchy to develop systems, anchors and strategies to reduce stress and drive performance. By taking a step back, we can re-assess your goals, visualise the road to achieving them and create real success, without the stress.
