Reboot’s Leadership Library: Essential Skills, Tools, and Frameworks for Growing and Leading Teams, and Building Humane Organizations

Teamwork makes the dreamwork. Yet, work is a very people-y place. And, as John Paul Sartesaid: “Hell is other people.” It’s often the intra- and interpersonal work that snags our collaborations and innovations at the office or in our remote work environments. When we’re trying to plan, keep the trains running on time, and reach organizational goals all while facing complexity, it’s often the individual and relational spaces that get stuck and hold back execution.

As a leader and manager, it helps to be equipped with the skills, tools, and frameworks for identifying issues when they might crop up, knowing how to troubleshoot, and what to expect as organizations scale. It also helps to have practices and moments of reflection for you as a leader.

Reflections for Leaders

How Are You Leading? Are you leading to serve on behalf of something larger than yourself and all the folks who are working on behalf of that, or do you have a bunch of people who work for you?
Leading in Times of Volatility: Questions to Sit With How curiosity, compassion, and creativity help us lead amidst choppy market conditions.
Leading Consciously: Staying Relational with Presence and Attunement It’s been said that the fundamental unit of work is a conversation. You’d think that would make working simple, yet when there are people involved it can be anything but. When two nervous systems meet, there may be a lot happening for each person individually that affects the other and the space between. For example, when your blood boils, or you find yourself spinningstories in your head in the middle of a conversation, it’s hard to be with another person much less be in a collaborative space to get work done together effectively. What does it take to stay relational?
How You Feel About Yourself Shows Up In Your Leadership Our behavior, feelings, motivation, and thoughts are directly influenced by our self-evaluation. If in your own internal experience thoughts of diminished self-worth or a raging inner critic voice with the volume up loud are more common than not, the psychic weight of that inner reflection will impact how you show up in your leadership. A non-generative sense of self makes you see the world, and your colleagues and fellow humans in it, differently.
What Are You Modeling? What you model as a leader lends itself to a larger inquiry of what it feels like to work at your organization. What kind of company are you building? How would you feel if your child or significant other came to work for the company?
Reflection Questions for HR Leaders HR leaders tend to put others’ needs over their own as a rule. If you’re an HR leader, here are a few journaling prompts to settle into that can help you take stock of yourself and the weight of your role.
