Winner’s Best Practice

Try teaching first. It’s so easy to make assumptions about what people know and get frustrated when they don’t meet our expectations. “Clear is kind.” The extra few moments you take to ask clarifying questions, teach someone the context of a situation or task, and verify they have what they need to be successful will save you hours of frustration and backtracking, while building a better team, centered on trust. Providing positive leadership includes sharing what you know to help others grow.
