Does anyone really listen to the heartbeat of their team? If you do, what are you doing about it?
So many employees are frustrated because the feel they don't have a voice and when they do speak they feel like they are not being heard so why bother?
An ultrasound is usually not partnered with the word leadership, but it really give it a different perspective when you look at them together. An ultrasound is a cyclic sound pressure wave with a frequency greater than the upper limits of human hearing. So for a leader to hear the heartbeat of their team you must really focus and pay attention.
Leadership ultrasound is effectively listening and being able to hear the waves of issues, concerns, or problems on their team. Leaders must listen not only to what is being said but also what is not being said. It's one thing to listen with your ears but quite another to listen with your heart.
With so much going on in the world and the election is right around the corner there is so much noise it's easy to miss something. You can get caught up in action plans, goals, assessments, meetings, conference calls and lose touch with your teams pulse. Your team needs to know that you no only know what's going on but that you are actively involved in making things better.
An Obstetric ultrasound is a sonogram used to see the fetus and determine the sex of a baby. It does a few things,
1. Checks for movement.
2. Assess growth.
3. Check for abnormalities.
A leader should be able to hear below the surface of what's happening on the team just like a sonogram.
1. Check for Movement: Leaders must know the direction the team is moving so that you can redirect if necessary or push further ahead. Leaders must know the pulse of each member of the team to know if they are committed, compliant or just complainers. You need to know if your team is healthy or hurting and the movement of your team or lack of movement can help you determine this.
2. Assess growth: How do you measure the growth of your team? Results are usually the first recourse of measurement and they should be but what other methods are you using to measure your teams growth? Are you measuring morale, engagement, commitment or loyalty? These usually get overlooked since they are intangible results but they are very important measurements.
3. Check for abnormalities: No one thinks there is anything abnormal about their team. You must be aware of what is not right on your team or with specific employees. When you listen to the heartbeat of your team you know when there are abnormalities.
It might be time for you to conduct a leadership ultrasound to know exactly what the movement is on your team, how you are growing and if you have some abnormalities on your team.
