REPLAY: June 5, 2024 Office Hours Call

Levels of work engagement shift during the summer months — shift your (and your team's) expectations accordingly.

Thanks to everyone who joined our June Office Hours call last week, where we talked about levels of work engagement, which often shift during the summer months. It's essential to recognize that different team members may have varying energy levels, and you shouldn't assume everyone on the team will be at the same level as you. If you haven't already, I encourage you to take some time to have an open conversation as a team to set reasonable expectations and pacing for the season ahead.

This month we discussed:

• The Levels of Work Engagement framework from 1 (close to not working) to 5 (all-in sprinting mode)

• Managing the anxiety of transitioning from a more moderate-pace role to a high-intensity one

• How to downshift a team in constant "level 5" (high-intensity) mode

• What to do when you are a visionary leader pushing too many ideas, causing team frustration

• How to manage swings between "wartime" and "peacetime" modes

• How to handle a mismatch in energy/expectations when working with a new partner
