Morning check-ins for your team
Hi.
I’m a big fan of getting to work early and walking around checking in on your team. I believe this is a big win for leaders.
I’m also a big fan of walking around your town and checking in on local business owners, but that’s another blog post for another day.
Here are five ideas for quick morning check-ins on your team:
Just a simple stopping by to say morning and keep going. Take a really quick pause. They may respond with more than a morning back and you don’t want it to feel to rushed.
Try a - morning plus a fist bump. High fives are even better. It creates a little more energy.
Maybe a morning and a simple question - like - anything I can help you with today?
A morning and mentioning something that you know about - like - how was your daughter's game last night?
There is always - morning - how was your drive to work this morning?
I'm a big believer in going around and just checking in on my team.
Let me know if this is something you do or let me know once you try it.
