As team leaders we all want to do the best for our full team and its individual members.

We look at ways to encourage them, motivate them, and keep them focused on doing the best possible work. This is certainly the intent that each successful team leader holds for her or his team.

But most times, these are aspects of human behavior – both at an individual and at a group level – that many leaders have not understood. We essentially replicate what our leaders – especially our role models – have done for us in our own career. And, this is a great place to start!!

However, we tend to forget that the situation and context and work and life when we were in our early careers is very different from the people who report to us now. So, some of what we’re practicing may not be appropriate and may not be effective.

What will be very helpful for you as a team leader is to have some foundational understanding of human performance from the lens of psychology.

With this deeper understanding, it will be easier for you to then look at specific do’s and don’ts that work for your team and individual team members.

So, how can we help our team members achieve consistently high levels of performance and quality in what they do? And, to do this with psychological and physical efficiency…

Welcome to the last conversation (episode 3) we’re having in this series on strengthening the relationship between couples or partners.

In the two previous episodes, we’ve spoken about establishing or re-establishing the foundation for a good relationship between the two of you, and we’ve looked at ways to have some meaningful conversations.

Let’s talk today about talking about some difficult things for the couple/partners.

Our goal is not to have a perfect solution, or to establish a process that must be followed irrespective of what’s happening.. because by definition, during difficult times, the established patterns are shaken.

However, if you’ve done some talking and thinking around how you both will deal with these issues, then it will be so much easier to support the other, or even recover if one has blown it completely.

Let’s continue our conversation on strengthening the relationship between couples or partners. This is the second part of a 3 part series on (Re) Igniting your relationship.

Our focus today is on setting a strong foundation for the relationship between couples and partners. So, if you’ve not listened to part 1 of this series, I encourage you to listen to part 1 also.  

Now, most couples start a relationship – either by active choice or by passive acceptance – without too much thought of some basic processes in managing the relationship.

More often than not, cultural norms shape what the roles of the partners are; or the couple figures it out by trial and error.

But what if, the couple had a conversation about some foundational processes of living together? Would that not minimize a lot of confusion and heartburn?

So, here are some areas that both of you should have a conversation on.

It doesn’t  matter if you’re just getting together or if you have been together for some time. It’s always wise to re-look at how roles and expectations change along with life phase.
