Valkiria Hub Lunch: Know How To Build Your Team (CAS)

How can I improve the performance of my staff?

If you’re in charge of several professionals within a department or organization, you have probably wondered how to improve the performance of your employees. Having a good group of professionals does not guarantee 100% that the team reaches maximum performance, as there are many variables involved. The talent of a professional, by itself, is not sufficient for the flow of work tasks, and in this sense, optimizing your team can be a daunting task if you do not know how to approach the problem.

But how do you start and improve the process of managing a team?  The answer lies in self-knowledge. If you do not know how we work, how we relate to others, what features does the team we want … we can hardly optimize the performance of our group of collaborators.  Emotional intelligence training is crucial to start this process: listening skills, empathy, adequate control of emotions, assertive communication and many other skills, must be trained first on a personal level before initiating changes in our organization.

Although many companies are not fully aware of its importance, the emotional competencies  are an important key to your success, as they help to achieve the objectives of the organization. Emotionally intelligent employees are more responsible, are more satisfied, perform their duties in an appropriate working environment and are more effective in executing their duties.

To learn how to manage your work equipment, improve communication in your team and know how to be an effective leader at our next Hub Lunch with Carme Dominguez Castro, a professional with over 25 years experience in business organizations from different perspectives: consulting, information systems director, manager and now managing partner of Kainova, specializing in people management and development company, talent enhancement and improvement of competitiveness in business.
