However the second badge for leading and sharing is more challenging and requires sharing to new colleagues how they can share-and-lead
Here is a proven good way to earn the second badge through ERF (set Expectations, review Results, provide Feedback):
When in doubt, just follow the three ERF steps:
1) Set Expectations - clearly explain what is the final goal of the deliverable, why do we need it, what is the epic story behind it; provide a system description or example of similar work from before; go back to your own goals and don't interfere
2) Review Results - once the results are in, dedicate time to review them in details, what is good, what is not so good, and make notes for everything; don't fix the results yourself
3) Provide Feedback - take all your notes from the previous step, dedicate more time to make them as clear as possible before sending; finally send all the feedback and repeat expectations - go back to step #1 and repeat the full cycle until finally results match expectations
Also there are multiple ways through which you will never achieve the second badge, i.e.:
Don'ts to watch out for:
1) Don't expect results without first setting expectations and clarifying them
2) Don't yell when results are not matching expectations - instead just provide actionable feedback and repeat expectations
3) Don't set deadlines based on how much time you would need to complete the same goal; however make sure to always have clear ETAs and to follow up on time as needed
4) Don't fix low quality results yourself - instead ask for resubmission after providing feedback
5) Don't confront when you identify a problem - instead ask for clarifications and observe
6) Don't IM or voice-only your feedback - instead share it so that it can be traced back easily on G+, emails using #hash[tag]
How will you know if you have succeeded in mentoring new colleagues? They'll be the ones to achieve defined team goals and to share new experience and knowledge with you
