Our webinar on \u2018Athlete Recovery\u2019 is in a few weeks; leading with kindness will help you reach new peaks; for clarity and accountability us these five techniques.<\/p>\n \n \n \n

\n

By Matthew Stone<\/h6>\n
Hello. Cze\u015b\u0107. S\u0304w\u1ea1s\u0304d\u012b! The purple and green of Wimbledon has been replaced with the white and navy of the Lionesses down here at Leaders HQ, as World Cup fever has hit the office.<\/h6>\n

Australia & New Zealand are the hosts of course, and we spotted the former\u2019s Legacy \u201923 Pre-Tournament Report recently – contained within the report was the inclusion of the high performance coaching white paper titled ‘Leading Our Game: six tactics to address exclusionary practice in the development of high-performance women coaches in football.’ Take a read here<\/a>, it\u2019s very impressive.<\/p>\n

For now, here\u2019s another collection of news, insights and stories from across high performance. Grab your brew, take a pew and enjoy the view!<\/p>\n

5\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>questions, answered<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Matt \u2013 what are the latest tips and strategies on athlete recovery? <\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Is a commitment different to a goal?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. Here\u2019s why that matters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0How can you be a more gracious leader?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Communicate with kindness<\/a>. Be gracious. Give credit. Make space.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a numbers game\u00a0<\/strong>

Theme of the week: supporting your team\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen some content this week about what leaders can do when their teams aren\u2019t quite ticking and are potentially in a bit of a slump.<\/p>\n

So why might the vibe of your team be off? There could be a number of reasons. As a leader, you\u2019ll want to find out why as soon as possible \u2013 so here are 20 questions<\/a> to ask to help you undercover why.<\/p>\n

One reason could be if there is uncertainty within the team, or the organisation. You\u2019ll need to help team members feel more empowered \u2013 here\u2019s some tips on how to do so.<\/a><\/p>\n

Morale will likely be low, or lower than usual. It\u2019s not just a leader\u2019s job to get spirits up, as a high performing culture will help support those who need it. Celebrate even the smallest of wins.<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, creating a shared identity<\/a> can help to counteract any future problems and issues \u2013 it can reduce conflict, standardise norms of behaviour, increase cohesion and collaboration, and ultimately enhance team performance.<\/p>\n
