BE THE THERMOSTAT
When you check your temperature with a Thermometer, it gives you data.
This is YOUR LEADERSHIP VIBE.
Whereas, if you use a Thermostat, you can use it to adjust the VIBE.
Your Thermostat is your LEADERSHIP.
Use your LEADERSHIP to create the TRIBE VIBE.
LEADERSHIP is all about being consistent.
SET THE VIBE FOR PEOPLE TO PERFORM AT THEIR BEST.
It’s FRIDAY so let’s have some fun.
Every leader needs a bag of tools … don’t they?!
I’ve pulled out THE EMOTIONAL CULTURE DECK.
It’s a cool Thermostat tool.
Action: Supply an EC deck to each member.
Using your Decks, you could:
· Ask, in the middle of a Zoom Meeting, how do you feel, right now – and everyone shows their card towards their camera.
· Ask the team to select a card which describes how you appreciate a particular person – everyone gets to share their selected card and reasoning.
· Have a High Five end of week meeting, selecting the five feelings you felt during the week (white or black) to determine how to improve the following week.
I asked my assistant to find ten cards (each card is printed with one word – an emotion) which she wants to feel (5) & not feel (5) – the image captures her response.
It’s powerful. It enables me to explore, with her, her VIBE story.
Using these cards gives everyone a voice to give you feedback about the VIBE they’re experiencing, working with YOU.
