How to manage inner and outer expectations in yourself, your kids and your team
Season 3, Sep 27, 10:02 AM
Season 3
In support of people attending our Building Better Leaders Programme, Season 3 concentrates on adding further thinking around how we can become even better leaders, if you are new to the programme it also acts as a really useful introduction, sparking your curiosity for further learning and self development.
Inspired by Gretchen Rubin's "The Four Tendencies" we take a deeper look into Tendency Types. Gretchen's work looks into how you respond to expectations. Whilst not absolute, people tend to fall into one of the following tendency types:
- Upholders want to know what should be done (6:46)
- Questioners want justifications (17:25)
- Obligers need accountability (26:30)
- Rebels need the freedom to do something in their own way (34:25)
We look at how these different tendency types present for children, and how it challenges us as Parents and Carers, helping you identify your families tendency type, and giving some tips on how to approach some difficult conversations.
As we describe each type we also look at the sort of things to look out for in the world of work, what this means for you as a leader, and how you can identify team members and alter your approach.
