What my clients say
The first step in this is to get to know your team members as well as possible, which is achieved through active listening.Which questioning techniques have you had particularly good experiences with?
Secondly: those who use their personal strengths are more efficient, more motivated, more successful and more resistant to stress; ask about these strengths in development meetings and redistribute tasks accordingly.
Which strengths in the team surprised you?
Thirdly: Psychological safety— the conviction that you can take interpersonal risks in a team — is central to performing well.
Fifth: Empathy is a key competency for leaders; it breaks down into emotional, cognitive, and social empathy.
What has been your experience with this lesson? Which empathy type do you feel is a particular strength of yours?

Which degree of freedom works best for you (and your team)?
Seventh: If you want to lead like a coach, you need to consider three strategies: offering support only when the co-worker is ready for it, clearly naming the supporter role, and adapting your own input to the person’s needs.
