 A Native American proverb states, observation is the greatest source of wisdom. As leaders, we understand the importance of paying attention to nonverbal communications when we interact with our teams. There is so much value in taking the time to listen with their eyes as well as our ears. Putting forth the effort to holistically observe our team members fosters trust and respect and thus a more positive and productive operational environment. Furthermore, pausing to reflect upon what you've observed and heard provides others with opportunities to collect and share their thoughts, leading to a more inclusive and comprehensive conversation. Finally, consider flexing your observation skills to being mindful of the environment surrounding your team. Are there contextual factors that you can influence to facilitate a more equitable, supportive, welcoming or motivating environment? As Chief Dan George of the Slewa-Tooth nation said, there are many who look, but only some who see. Be mindful and choose to intentionally observe your environment and your team members so you will be one who sees. Lead well this week.
