Setting goals for yourself as a manager, introducing the "tour of duty" concept with your team, and finding the courage to suggest changes about how your team works
Happy Monday!
During the first decade of my career, I have deep dived into various professional and leadership frameworks. I must admit that often I have found many of them actually useful in helping make sense of my roles and different company contexts.
One that has truly stood out, and which I've applied in several work settings already, is the "tour of duty" concept from Reid Hoffman’s "The Alliance." It's a transformative approach that changes the dynamic of the employer-employee relationship, emphasizing mutual growth and a shared mission.
This week, I’m diving into this concept with two articles. The first offers insights into how managers can set enriching goals for themselves, drawing inspiration from "The Alliance" book itself. The second is a blueprint for leadership and HR teams to implement the "tour of duty" across their organizations.
Whether you're an individual looking for growth or a leader aspiring for organizational excellence, there's something valuable in here for you.
Plus, take a listen to the latest episode of The Everyday Leader, where I interview Evy Nyairo, the Global People Operations Manager at IDinsight, who shares how she found the courage to suggest changes about how her team works.
Wishing you a productive week ahead,
Chris from CoffeeChat
