Howdy ,
I had a call with one of my team leads.
I lead offices across two countries.
We had a training in which we were bringing in team members from one country to another.
I disagreed with one of my team leads about some of the people she wanted to include.
I thought we needed them to attend for 2 days, she thought they should be there for the 4 days.
After our back and forth, I told my team lead “ I still don’t agree with your position but I trust your judgment. Let them attend the 4 days.”
This was my way of communicating that I trust her judgment even if it doesn’t align with mine.
Why the fuss over 2 or 4 days?
It communicates the importance of everyone in the training. They are not there to make up a number.
There must be added value that we expect them to bring to their work after the training.
This is what my team lead tried to explain to me.
I conceded that since she was closer to the ground, she had a view more relevant to the matter at hand than I.
The financial cost of the decision was not a high one. It’s an investment in two groups of people.
My team lead and the people she spoke up for.
The bigger investment was my trust in her judgment.
Are you showing your team your trust in them?
As always.
Keep Multiplying what you have been given by God in life.
Tata,
Tola
