All right, Sarah, let's get starting. I
assume you already know why you're here,
so let's not waste time on pleasantries.
What do you want to focus on today?
Uh, actually, I was promoted to a
managerial position. I came here because
I wanted to work on my leadership skills
in order to build relationships with my
team uh and to work on the communication
skills also the the way I can delegate
people. Okay, that's pretty generic.
Everyone wants to improve those things.
Let's get specific. You need to learn to
manage better. What do you think you're
doing wrong right now? Well, uh I think
I'm not always connecting with the team.
Maybe if you help me. Maybe if you you
help me to lead them in a better way.
Yeah, that's what they all say. It's
your job to figure it out. We don't have
time to go over basic things. You just
need to work harder. How do you think
you're going to manage your time better?
I I'm not sure yet. That's why I'm here.
I'm trying to figure out how to delegate
more and to manage my workload better.
Well, delegation is simple. All you need
to do is give people more work. You're
the manager now, so stop doing
everything yourself. That's the answer.
I get this. Actually, I always try to do
what you're saying, but I tend to do
everything on my own. I don't trust the
team that they're going to do it in the
same way that I would. That's not my
problem. You just need to let go. Trust
isn't something I can teach you. It's
something you have to figure out on your own.
own.
I get that. I just want to be a good
leader. I want my team to feel supported
and uh to feel better in my leadership.
Support them by telling them what to do.
You're their boss, not their friend.
Leadership is about results, not
emotions. You have to stop being so
concerned about being liked and start
making tough
decisions. Okay, here's what we're going
to do. I'm going to give you a list of
tasks to complete and you'll report back
to me next time. You need to stop
worrying about relationships and start
focusing on being more
authoritative. I'm not here to make you
feel good about yourself. I'm here to
make you a better leader. I'm not sure
that approach is what I need right now.
I understand your point. I understand
that authoritative is really important,
but in my point of view, leadership is
beyond being just tough. Leadership is
about results, not emotions. You're not
here for therapy. You're here for
advice. I don't have time for your
feelings. Do you want to succeed or not?
Of course, I want to succeed. Listen, if
you don't want to hear it, don't ask for
help. It's simple. Just follow the
instructions. Stop secondguessing
yourself. Every time I've worked with
people like you, all they want to talk
about is emotions instead of getting
things done. I'm not here for that. I I
actually didn't expect that the session
will be about just giving me tasks. I
was hoping to find guidance in terms of
leadership, in terms of uh managing my
team and my skills in a better way, not
just about do that or this. Well, you're
not going to get everything handed to
you. If you want a real leadership role,
you need to learn to work under
pressure. You have to toughen up and
stop focusing on relationships. That's
something you have to figure out on your
own. All right, that's enough for today.
Take the list I'm giving you and get to
work. Next time, I expect to hear that
you've stopped wasting time and are
getting things done. No more excuses.
Okay. But I still can't feel that I've
received the support I needed. I was
hoping to have an open conversation
about my leadership style and how I can
improve it. Open conversations. That's
for therapy, not coaching. Just follow
the instructions and we'll talk about
