Leadership

Self | Team

Process without character produces theater. Lead yourself. Then lead the team.

Self and Team.

Self

  1. Practice kindness and compassion. Hard standards with a soft heart.
  2. Love and approve of yourself. Do not manage from ego.
  3. I shall not fear. Ask the hard question. Lose the bad deal.
  4. Circles of influence and control. Work where you can act.
  5. Do not take yourself or the world too seriously.

Team

  1. Focus on the right things. Do fewer. Do them better.
  2. Communicate clear goals. Everyone knows the scoreboard.
  3. Empower people. Coach judgment. Do not hoard decisions.
  4. Catch people doing things right.
  5. Correct bad behavior. Soon. Specifically.
  6. Ignore bullshit. Fake pipeline is not work.
  7. Clear internal obstacles. That is the manager's job.
  8. Teach well being. Keep it positive.
  9. Success is we. Failure is I.

Circles of influence is Stephen Covey's language.
