Although your first point about acknowledging the stress in those on your team is a great point, what the call from the Regional President (RP) conveyed was not simply the message, but that the RP was aware of what was happening & had stepped up to be active & involved in working through a difficult time. They were not just sitting back watching what “their team” was doing but talking about what “our team” was doing & what “our team” was going to do.

This RP acknowledged not only the stress of the situation but that, as a team, they had to reassess & make some changes to what they were doing, in hopes of better results.

This RP was including themselves in being accountable for the shortcomings of what they were doing & acknowledged they had to find a way to do better.

This RP seemed to realize that they may be behind on the score, but was looking at the good things they were doing, the progress they were making & the progress they wanted/needed to make together, as “our team” which is part of your “UGLY” & acknowledging the progress they were making.

And the RP came across calm & focussed, keeping perspective of the realities, identifying & working with the things that they could control, and was encouraging, without any outward sign of judgement or negativity.

What the RP said was not just about acknowledging stress, but so much more! And the timing of the RP’s message was impeccable!

As a team leader, results have to be acknowledged & be “our team’s” results. The leader cannot be extraneous to the team or the results.

Thanks, Steph! Yeah, I have to remind myself of that when the stress runs high 😉
