Organizational cultures, values, and strategies may differ, but all successful businesses have one thing in common: strong leadership. Independent of your leadership style, we know that being a great leader can be challenging sometimes. Don't worry, Truvelop is here to help! Here you will find a variety of activities focused on specific goals that will help you become an inspirational leader through the "coach approach."
The very first step to building a relationship with employees might as well be the hardest one. The process of getting to know each other cannot be forced, but it must be strategically conducted by the leader. This ICEBREAKER activity will help you start and promote a conversation with your employee or your team.
When it comes to career development, it is important to make decisions consciously, and one of the best ways to get there is through guided self-analysis. This Pros & Cons activity provides visual feedback that can be used to develop a performance improvement plan and to analyze a possible role change or termination decision. This can be especially helpful for players who are not performing or underperforming, as well as low and lagging performers. 
Identifying personal strengths & talents can be inspiring and incredibly motivating for the individual and it also serves as a tool for managers to identify potential leaders in the organization. People who know and use their strengths perform better, are more satisfied and boost organizational results.
Strengths conversations enable more open and constructive relationships between employees and their leader, including discussions about managing lesser talents (Gallup). The Truvelop app can help managers better understand their teams’ capacity and growth opportunities. Use the Truvelop Journey Milestone to guide you in the coaching leadership path.
This model based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs allows managers to assess not only the level of engagement of team members, but also what each team member envisions for the higher levels. This way, when setting goals and creating a plan, managers can focus on what matters to that specific employee. This might also make employees feel that their needs matter, thus feeling more valued. Managers may also use this activity to assess to what extent they are meeting those as leaders, as well as the organization as a whole. Taking different levels of an employee assessment into consideration simultaneously provides a fuller picture of the workforce's state of engagement, including the general needs and what should be prioritized.

“Ikigai is not the end but the beginning of the pursuit of a life worth living.” - Gordon Mathews
Ikigai is a Japanese concept compounded by two words: iki meaning "life" and gai meaning "result" or "value". Hence, Ikigai means "a reason for being." It refers to having a meaningful direction or purpose in life. Uncovering and pursuing ikigai involves building self-awareness, cultivating your inner potential, taking time to appreciate life’s joys in order to identify what the world needs, and finding in what ways your can help fulfill these needs.
This activity can be used to motivate employees by helping them identify their role in the organization and the value of their service to the world. It can also be applied to identify the purpose of an organization or team. Click HERE to access the worksheet.
