LeadDev Together

Session 1 : Developing your Team

Session homework

This week

Which of the skills you heard about - coaching, sponsoring and feedback - would you like to practice this week?

  • Identify one specific opportunity to practice this skill.
  • Reflect: how will you hold yourself accountable to following through this week?

Game plan

Find five opportunities to sponsor others over the course of the next 12 weeks of LeadDev Together. (For example: suggesting someone lead a project, giving feedback to someone’s manager)

  • Triple check that the people whom you sponsor for these opportunities are different than the folks you normally sponsor!
  • Reflect: what’s one thing you need, in order to successfully be a sponsor in these next 12 weeks?

Group discussion prompts

Here is a reminder of the last group session question in case you didn’t have time to complete your discussions:

  • One thing you are going to change in the workplace as a result of what you heard in Session 1?
  • What challenges do you see to enacting that change?
  • What do you need, in order to be successful in enacting that change?
