Pro Managers Playbook by Martin Knowles on Virtual Academy (virtualacademy.co.uk‪)‬ Martin Knowles

I want to help you discover more secrets and strategies for aspiring, new and developing managers and leaders in 5-10m bursts. I have been training, developing and coaching managers and leaders for 20years and now want to share my favourite tips and tools for success from around the World.

In this 15m episode I walk around the Johari Window, explaining the different sections and purpose for understanding it. Have you ever wondered:

How do you manage people? How do you communicate effectively? How do you give feedback? What is the best way to build relationships? How do you influence people? How do I develop people? How do I help people with their careers? How do I lead others?

The answer, amazingly to all these questions is to understand: the JoHari Window

It was created by psychologists Joseph Luft (1916–2014) and Harrington Ingham (1916–1995) in 1955, and is used primarily in training for explaining personal and self development as well as teamwork and team dynamics. However, it can be applied to so much more than that...

The long and short of it is that to build relationships with people you need to help them share information with you (private to public). This builds rapport. You do this by getting to know them, asking questions and sharing information yourself (reciprocate) effectively moving them from bottom left to top left on the 4 square.

Once you have a relationship on the left hand side of the 4square diagram you can support people by sharing information about them that is in their Blindspot (top right to top left) and this process is called feedback. So, to better understand yourself you need to seek out and encourage people around you to give you feedback, so you can continue to improve.

It would take an age to illustrate every brilliant aspect of the Johari Window here, in one small podcast, so make sure you subscribe below, or check out my podcast for more, or even follow me on social media too.

I want to help you discover more secrets and strategies for aspiring, new and developing managers and leaders in 5-10m bursts. I have been training, developing and coaching managers and leaders for 20years and now want to share my favourite tips and tools for success from around the World.

In this 10m episode I introduce the 3 Types of Career Development for Experts, Managers and Leaders as well as the subsets of Expert: Know Mores, Do Mores and Think Mores, subsets of Manager: Production, People, Process and subsets of Leader: Self, Others, Organisation. This is from the KAIORO™ model that I came up with many years ago after interviewing, training and coaching over 500 managers during a 3year project to identify and develop talent. We will explore KAIORO™ (pronounced Cairo like the city in Egypt),  in another podcast but I wanted to share this as it is one of my most asked questions from managers and leaders "How do I develop in my Career". The answer of course is to either broaden or deepen your position based on your starting point in the KAIORO™ model.

In this 10m episode I introduce a very simple explanation of performance, pace, peaks and troughs as well as some introductions to me and references to help you discover more secrets and strategies for aspiring, new and developing managers and leaders. Performance and Achievement can not possibly be measured as a fixed or permanent position, in fact everyday we fluctuate like a wave rising and falling from good to great hopefully! However, it is unrealistic to see performance as a constant. We should take a base line measurement and seek to work on that baseline rather than assume that one piece of work or one snapshot in time should determine our 'Performance or Talent Rating'.
