13 concepts to understand before you lead a team:
Your team needs to know you are competent and have integrity.
The easiest way to show them you have both is by doing what you say you will do.
- Write down your commitments
- Proactively manage expectations
Hoping conflict will go away by ignoring it is like hoping weeds in your garden will go away when you ignore them.
Your goal is not to hope conflict disappears because it won't. Your goal is to get better at managing it.
You can create healthy soil in your organization by listening deeply to people at all levels.
Understanding their goals and obstacles will ensure you can provide the support they need.
Creating healthy soil will allow ideas to flourish.
Be ruthless about making sure all levels of your organization understand their priorities and Why their work matters.
Great leaders keep the vision visible.
When you spend time developing your people, you save time fixing unnecessary problems.
Plus:
- More collaboration
- Better performance
You can’t be good at everything. Develop a partnership with people who complement your strengths.
Side note: these are likely people you initially have a conflict with.
As you gain influence, working on yourself has a multiplying impact.
Improving your leadership skills will allow you to be more effective in improving the lives around you.
This is a big deal!
Don't wait 10 days for a conversation that will take 10 minutes.
Remember, the purpose of feedback is to help.
Be direct with feedback because you are invested in the success of others.
Make sure your team understands the big picture and give them guard rails to work within.
When obstacles come up, you want them to be able to tell you why they made adjustments instead of coming to you for approval.
People are going to make mistakes. When this happens it's important for you to respond in a way that is aligned with your goals and values.
Creating a culture where people hide mistakes is expensive.
You need to know what 20% of your actions lead to 80% of your results.
Knowing this will make it much easier for you to say NO to the things not setting your team up for success.
Know the things that keep you at your best, and don't let them become optional.
When you fail to stay energized, your team will feel it first.
Know when you are at your best.
And know when you need to ask for help.
Humility and growth are impossible without awareness.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
