What do you do? In my last article I wrote about strategies to utilize when you are not the smartest person (i.e. expert) in the room. But what if it’s reversed? What if you are the person with the most institutional knowledge, skills, and experience and everyone else is looking to you to lead the team at this time?
First, lean into the moment. Adopt a mindset of confidence in which you want this opportunity to share, teach, and communicate with your people. There are times when a leader needs to be out in front, seen and heard. This is one of them.
Second, be prepared. Whether the goal is to improve your team, your systems, or complete a project you want to make this an intentional time of growth. Be productive, be personal, and convey a message to others that their time is valuable. Being prepared will help to accomplish that.
