In this insightful talk, Neil Jurd focuses on helping leaders to maximise their positive impact on their teams. He explains how effective leadership relies on creating and holding strong connections among team members and providing them with a clear and compelling purpose. Neil emphasises the importance of providing clarity and reassurance to prevent uncertainty within the team.
By offering this clarity, leaders create a safe environment where individuals feel empowered to put forward their own views and ideas. Furthermore, Neil stresses the negative effects that disengaged leadership can have on a team and emphasises the need for consistent communication and clarity to foster trust and create a positive working culture.
Neil puts forwards ways in which leaders can achieve these goals. He encourages them to prioritise personal connections, spending time getting to know team members on a deeper level outside of work settings, as positive relationships with the individual team members leads to a more positive relationship with the overall team.
Highlighting the need for authenticity in the workplace, Neil explains the importance of prioritising one on one time with your team to help them understand the way you operate as a leader. He suggests a simple structure to define yourself as a leader, that you can show your team and in turn create a safer and more positive working environment. Finally, he urges leaders to create a vision statement which outlines the direction the team is pursuing in the future.
Neil finishes his talk by suggesting that you reflect on how you can incorporate the ideas put forward into your own teams and help them further understand your vision.
