The questions behind the role.
Everything still comes through me. Delegating feels riskier than doing it yourself, leaving less time to think.
I have responsibility, but struggle to influence. Expertise alone is not enough to build influence and handle competing expectations.
I keep postponing a conversation. With a manager, colleague or direct report. The issue remains and affects your work.
Read the situation. Choose your response.
Stated objectives and unspoken expectations can diverge. We distinguish facts from interpretations, explore relationships and identify where you can act.
Topics can include conflict, stakeholder relationships, authority and personal boundaries.
Which situation would you like to approach differently in the coming weeks?
From reflection to practice.
Real situations. Bring decisions and relationships from your working week.
Actions to try. Prepare conversations and test different behaviours.
Observable goals. Agree what progress would look like and review it together.
Your next step starts with a conversation.
