1. FEEDBACK EARLY AND OFTENI will remember that as the leader of a team I need to provide clear expectations, and provide timely, constructive feedback in order to help my team members succeed. I will call the two members of my team that I have not spoken to recently to solicit their feedback on how things are going with their roles on the team, and provide constructive feedback and encouragement. I will do this before our next team meeting, and follow-up with them in the next two weeks. I will check in with the rest of my team members with a phone call individually in the next two weeks. 2. BEING AN ATTITUDE LEADER I will remember that I am not just the task leader, but also the attitude leader and strive to steer teams in a positive direction whether I am the positional leader or a member of the team. If meetings take a negative turn, I will redirect the conversation to be constructive. I will avoid venting during meetings or phone calls. If I slip up and indulge in negativity, I'll write down what happened and how I could have handled it differently.

In an article by Marty Brounstein he provides some key points to providing feedback. • Constructive feedback is information-specific, issue-focused, and based on observations. • Avoid “need to” phrases, which send implied messages that something that didn’t go well. • Be sincere and avoid giving mixed messages • In positive feedback situations, express appreciation. • In negative feedback situations, express concern. • Give the feedback person-to-person, not through messengers of technology. • State observations and not interpretations.

Liz, It will be interesting to hear the challenges if any from these commitments. How will your team members react to this new feedback? Finally, the idea of writing down when conversation are not constructive sounds like a great way to start improving the leader attitude. Julian

Hi Liz, Attitude is a tough behavior, but kudos to working on keeping negativity out of meetings. Do you have a co-worker, mentor or a confidant to vent to? Venting is critical to keep us sane, but not bringing it into meetings will make them more productive.

Liz,
Feedback early and often is what so many individuals want and need. I think you are opening up a great line of communication with this LP. I know in my past when individuals were this way with me, I quickly opened up and trusted them.
Do you have certain tasks that lead you to a negative mood? I know meetings with certain people I work with can put me in a negative mood, and I'm pretty sure this negativity has come from impatience. One way I've worked on this is putting sticky notes (like on my phone and computer) that says, "Be Positive! Be Patient!" The little reminder definitely helps to calm my attitude and think about the upcoming interaction in a more positive manner.
