STARTING NOW: Join NASW ED @TinsleyHD for a special #SciWriLive Q&A with leadership expert @JillGeisler! Whether you manage a team of journalists or PIOs, let's talk how to best support our teams during #COVID19. Open to current NASW members: nasw.org/events/support… 
Our special #SciWriLive guest @JillGeisler is the Bill Plante Chair in Leadership and Media Integrity at @LoyolaChicago. She headed leadership programs at @Poynter and was among the country’s first female TV news directors. NASW members can join us now: nasw.org/events/support…
Q: If a team member simply replies "fine" when I ask how they're doing, how do I react? "Listen to their tone," says @JillGeisler. "You need to ask more than once" especially if you know they might be facing unseen challenges. #SciWriLive right now: nasw.org/events/support…
Simply asking "how are you doing" might not be nuanced enough. Are you asking about a work task or genuinely about well-being? Be specific. It also depends on the existing relationship you have with your team member. @JillGeisler right now on #SciWriLive: nasw.org/events/support…
"People are afraid of failing right now" reminds @JillGeisler. Freelancers and other remote workers may think they gotta be on the radar all the time. NASW members, join us for our #SciWriLive Q&A right on newsroom leadership happening right now: nasw.org/events/support…
"It's so unnatural to be tethered like this" reminds @JillGeisler on Zoom-life these days. It means we as managers and leaders have to become better active listeners. "Listening is a learned behavior." Our #SciWriLive right now: nasw.org/events/support…
Basic tips for media managers/leaders for active listening from our #SciWriLive guest @JillGeisler:
1. REPEAT. Train yourself to say back to the person what they just told you. It lets them know they've been heard/helps check whether you heard it right.

Tips for media managers/leaders for active listening from our #SciWriLive guest @JillGeisler:
2. REFLECT. Actually process and hear what your employees/team member said to you.
3. REFRAIN. Hold back from lecturing. Ask more Q's to elicit their thoughts.

Our #SciWriLive Q&A series is a new program to bring great professional development for our NASW membership. Today's topic is supportive team management for editors, comms directors + other leaders. So much great advice from guest @JillGeisler right now: nasw.org/events/support…
Q: What makes feedback valuable? @JillGeisler tells managers in media: Feedback is "information with intent to influence." If it's not information rich and if it's not intentional, then you're just giving them "empty calories." Our #SciWriLive right now: nasw.org/events/support…
Example of giving good feedback as managers/leaders in media: It's the difference between simply saying "Good job" vs. "I love what you wrote in graf 3. How did you get it there?"

"The outreach is really important" to let your team members know they matter, says @JillGeisler on our #SciWriLive chat for leaders/managers, wrapping up shortly. Just the words "you matter" is so important. Bookmark our upcoming events for NASW members: nasw.org/events/upcoming
Learning so much from our #SciWriLive Q&A special guest @JillGeisler! She is a recognized media leadership expert and also the @powershiftpro Fellow with @FreedomForumIns. Wrapping up soon now: nasw.org/events/support…
Gestures are so important right now to gently care for your team, says @JillGeisler in our #SciWriLive. Advice: as when we interview people after tragedies, you don't say "I know how you feel"—you say "I can't imagine how you feel" to staff under duress. nasw.org/events/support…
One #SciWriLive Q today was as managers, how should we decide to share how *we're* doing to empathize with team members? @JillGeisler says "Opening your heart and your life to people humanizes you as a leader, but you have to do it in the right order..." nasw.org/events/support…
...managers should remember "you're not the lead—don't make the subject about you" says @JillGeisler on #SciWriLive today. Listen to make sure they are ready to hear about you. Be careful not to hijack the balance when you are in a position of power. nasw.org/events/support…
