Investing Formal vs Informal Time with Your Team: What Matters Most?

As part of The Hack's 100x Leader Challenge, our hosts Leon McQuade, Paul Longley, and Dean Buffield are back to discuss the latest developments in technology and business processes. Today, they're talking about how to be a better leader by consciously investing both informal and formal time into your people.

What’s discussed?
As a leader, investing your time in the right ways is important. Some time is more valuable than others, and it's essential to understand the difference between formal and informal investing. Formal investing happens in a structured setting, while informal investing happens spontaneously. Your team needs both kinds of investing to be productive and grow.

This mini-podcast will explore the importance of investing formal and informal time with your team.

How we spend our time matters to those we lead
But not all time is the same. To improve as a leader, you must consciously invest informal and formal time in your team. The skills and relational dynamics that each sort of investment fosters are essential.

It’s a bit like walking a tight- rope, but both have benefits to productivity and growth; On one side, we've got:

- formal and structured time.

On the other

- informal and spontaneous time

This balancing act is not an exact science but an art form. Leaders must intentionally provide a balance of both to their people, helping them get to 100% and multiply that with others.
