It’s no surprise that Google, now part of Alphabet, loves data, and the company’s execs frequently share the revelations they find, such as their insights on mobile web use. But some of us would be surprised to discover that this unicorn company often turns its eye inward, analyzing information about its people to help improve its operations.

 

A group of employees from Google’s People Operations section, the equivalent of an HR department, decided to complete an analysis to answer one question: What makes a Google team effective?

 

Here’s a look at their approach and the startling revelations they had along the way.

3 Situations Where Leaders Should Keep Their Mouths Shut

3 Situations Where Leaders Should Keep Their Mouths Shut | Writing about Life in the digital age | Scoop.it
From www.inc.com - September 9, 2015 4:55 AM

Being a leader can be a daunting task. Everyone on the team expects you to know the answer, and rarely can you go an entire day without having to make a critical decision. The toughest part is learning when to speak up, and when you to delegate to someone else. Finding the perfect balance is one of the toughest parts of leadership.

 

For most first-time leaders, it seems that the default is to make a decision even if you don't know the answer. Unfortunately, when leaders approach the problem this way, it can lead to serious consequences. From my own experience, I've learned one of the most important parts of being a great leader is knowing when to keep your mouth shut. Below, I'll highlight three situations where as the leader you should not speak up, but shut up instead. Use these tips to keep your sanity, hold your team together, and be an effective leader.

rodrick rajive lal's insight:

Yes, these are situations many of those in leadership positions will have faced, like for example having to lend a shoulder for someone to weep on, having to listen to intimate details about marital dischord, or even having to listen to someone ranting at you and even calling you names. However, come what may, people in leadership positions should never share these confidences with others otherwise the consequences can be fatal! Thus if the leader has to be a punching bag, then it would be better for him or her to keep the mouth shut!
