Strategies for Elevating Leadership and Team Performance with Tammy Klotz

Notable Leaders' Radio

Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Tammy Klotz, the Chief Information Security Officer at Trinseo. She highlights actionable strategies for elevating leadership and team performance.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

• Establishing clear boundaries. Define and communicate each person's responsibilities and how they impact their teammates and the overall project to develop strong collaboration across teams and functions.

• Fully embrace resiliency and cultivate it in your team. Resilience is developed when we learn from failures and setbacks as a team. Use these experiences to fuel determination, individual growth, and more profound team resiliency.

• “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” In Cyber Security, there are no “I will get to it later” crisis calls for immediate action. Once calm has been restored, it is time to gather your team(s), dissect all that happened, and identify the elements that need to be altered, enhanced, deleted, newly developed….

• Foster individuality and motivate your team. Encourage your team members to develop their unique strengths and identities. Avoid forcing conformity; instead, celebrate their uniqueness and energize them with motivational moments. Use quotes, stories, or insights to keep them focused and positive.

• Building trust and respect. Cultivate trust and respect within your team by consistently demonstrating empathy and grace. Recognize the impact of your actions and words on others, and strive to create a supportive environment.
