When I have a new project, I like to get the team involved from the beginning. I've noticed that when they are involved in the planning process and setting KPIs themselves, they are more involved in reaching the goals. I also try to explain the "why" behind everything we do. More people will give their all if they know the impact they're having.

This means that you need to be willing to take ideas from everyone, so many people ask for feedback but they don't really want it

Be trustworthy. Also, stop adding commercials.

Authenticity and support

I ask them what is important to them (and actually pay attention to it) since this varies based on the individual and gives such good insight.
I’ve found being transparent and pulling them into serious conversations and asking for input (obviously ones that are relevant) . “Hey, we are looking to add another team member and here is exactly why.”
Or “look, this is an area or process we feel like things are a little shaky with right now, do you have any input on that?”
And then the obvious answer, depending on the role or what it allows, make sure their comp plan/bonus/incentive lines up with a company goal

Be authentic and solicit their support. Show them the big picture and engage them from the start . Empower them and they will surprise themselves and you with the outcomes. Do not forget to celebrate small wins and the journey

You basically need to have them involved and you have to guide them and sometimes you get stuck with a plan which is maybe 85% effective, but it’s their plan and they will fight to make it successful

Last week I got automated call from infosys and asked few details . After that I got call from hr and said my interview is scheduled on next week and very next day one person called me and asked few technical questions .she said she's calling from infosys and this is technical screening round . Today same hr called and said she will be scheduling a client interview.

My doubt is till now I didn't received any mail from infosys. So this is scam or part of infosys interview process?

Additional Posts in Leadership

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

Thank you so much!!

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
