    153. Creating Visibility for Your Team

    153. Creating Visibility for Your Team Today's episode is about creating visibility for your team. And by default, that automatically creates visibility for you as well. And I think many times our teams are doing great things and there's just so much going on that we forget to share it. Or we don't take some intention to have the conversation with our boss or maybe other people in the organization who would benefit from knowing what our teams are doing. Think about the opportunities that you have to share what is happening with your team. See what ideas you can learn from or adapt for yourself in what is shared here. In this episode: Sharing the background of my interview for an article by Rebecca Knight for HBR titled, How to Make Your Team’s Work More Visible Do you focus on gaining visibility for your team and their work? Shared the lessons that I learned the hard way about off hand comments as a leader of a team. Gave some background and details about the situations I referred to in the article with more context and details. The weight of your words can create a positive or a negative perception for your team members. The strategies that I used to ensure the team gained visibility and what I did to support them. Some ways that you can show others that you believe in and support your team.
