Editor's Notes
- Come up with your operating principles These are mine. What are yours?
- Come up with your core values Tell the story of how we came up with ours.
- Alignment (McK 7S) Everything has to align... and this is why core value are important.
- Come up with your vision Tell the story of how we came up with our mission.
- OKRs and management by objectives What are OKRs... started w/ Drucker... developed at Intel... perfected by Google.
- These are the tools we use to regularly check in on engagement
- Your most important job is to remove obstacles. This makes people more successful in their work.
- Charisma = presence, power, and warmth These can all be projected through your body language. The outcome of negotiations, sales calls, and business plan pitches could be predicted 87% of the time by strictly analyzing participants’ body language. Eye contact + mirroring + smile + don’t head nod too much + no fidgeting
- Manager vs. Leader Leadership is scaleable; management is not
- From Gallup: They motivate every single employee to take action and engage them with a compelling mission and vision. They have the assertiveness to drive outcomes and the ability to overcome adversity and resistance. They create a culture of clear accountability. They build relationships that create trust, open dialogue, and full transparency. They make decisions that are based on productivity, not politics.
- Delegating is really important and is an aspect of a great manager Exercise you can do: Delegate, Do, Dump Start by placing money on your time Start training your people now Give them ownership and accept the fact there’s a risk
- Feedback is tough because it presents tension between our need to learn and our desire to be accepted. Remember: negative interactions with supervisors cause a 6x stronger reaction than positive ones Before giving feedback, ask yourself: “Do I really need to give feedback in this situation? Immediate unless not urgent... which can be saved for one-on-one Ask for preferred mode of communication
- Managing to the Y-Axis Dont leave one on one’s with todo’s!
- A deliberately developmental organization (DDO) is an org that makes you a better person. Continuous development is assumed to be the critical ingredient for a company’s success. “You will be here as long as you grow as fast as the company does.”
- Here is how teams fail. Starts without having any trust... [work your way up]
- Who loves meetings? Take meetings seriously. Objective. Agenda. Minutes. Next Steps. If you don’t add value, leave. If you’re not getting value, leave. Make them interactive with gamestorming.
- So how do you get better? Identify your fatal flaws (using a 360, for example) Kill them Then focus on your strengths and get better You will get a halo effect.
