Putting off having the right conversation or doing it poorly can both have significant wellbeing consequences.
Holding others to account is an important part of any leaders role, in the same way that it is important to regularly and authentically praise and recognise what others do.
Yet some leaders find this difficult. They don't like confrontation or worry about upsetting someone and as a result put off an important conversation.
This can not only let down students and other staff, but the staff member who is in difficulty or underperforming too.
In the guide that you can download below we share a process to follow that will make this easier. Remember that to be a great leader requires knowledge and skills and a big part of this will come through practise.
Every time you have a conversation reflect on what went well and even better if, and take the learning into the next one. That is how you will build confidence and consistently improve. As a result you will also improve your wellbeing and that of others.
We've put together a guide to having difficult conversations which you can download below.
