Good leaders do everything in their power to remove obstacles that prevent team members from being the most productive they can be. Anything that stands in the way of a team member reaching their full potential and being the best they can be is ripe for discussion.
Oh this is so true. I do my level best to ask at every occasion whether there's anything I can do to help, whether a colleague can do anything to help or whether there are any barriers we can help to break down. Definitely an advocate of enabling others to do their work
This might be a bot in the weeds, Dr. Nia, but how do you find yourself asking?
I've found myself thinking that when I hear the question come at me the same way every time, I think of it as perfunctory or not authentic. Do you vary your delivery at all intentionally?
It's the first question I aim to ask in supervision session, but often we go off in to the to-do list, so I find myself saying "yes, but 'how are you?". I think sometimes you just have to create a pregnant pause, stop and come back to the most important thing before you get lost in those weeds

Great session and very very informative. I wish more HR management would develop this program.
Do you think it is a function of HR, Lisa?
Or do you think it is better coming from leaders in the organization themselves?
It should be required for both HR and Leaders.
