Life-long learners constantly cycle through a developmental process to sharpen their leadership skills. It may be intuitive or it may be intentional. But the 6 steps they follow are real:<\/p>\n

LEARN-EMPOWER-ASSESS-DECIDE-EVALUATE-REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fifth step in the leadership developmental process is EVALUATE:\u00a0know\u00a0how\u00a0and\u00a0when to evaluate the performance of the team as well as the individual members of the team\u00a0to ensure the vision, the goals and the team member\u2019s contributions are on track.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Here are 6 things you can do to keep your team members on track:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Point out the difference between the present situation and agreed upon expectations<\/li>\n
  2. Describe specifically the negative impact of the individual\u2019s performance<\/li>\n
  3. Ask the person for their view of the situation<\/li>\n
  4. Ask the individual for ideas on how the situation could be corrected, and then add your own if necessary<\/li>\n
  5. Agree on action plan for improvement and a date for follow-up<\/li>\n
  6. Express confidence that the individual can correct the situation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     
    \nMonitoring the effectiveness of teamwork is also important. Effective leaders are aware of relationship strength and limitations amongst their team. Helping build positive relationships is a key responsibility for any leader.<\/p>\n

    Evaluating\u00a0is an important step in the Leadership Development Process. But\u00a0Evaluating\u00a0in itself is not enough. In fact, going to a workshop, listening to a podcast or even receiving a degree in leadership does not guarantee a person can lead. I\u2019ve found that many people have knowledge but lack the experience of actually leading a team. Applying the knowledge and learning from success, as well as failure is critical in the developmental process.<\/p>\n

    The next step in the journey to develop as a leader is <\/strong>REVIEW:\u00a0review the progress, people and success of a project. I will address this in the next blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n
