Managers driveorganizational culture.
This is not an elevated version of being an
individual contributor.
#1
You have power over people’s lives.
Adaptation is your magic bullet.
#2
Everyone has different working styles.
It’s your job to take the first step.
People like structure & guidance.
#3
Goals drive progress AND engagement.
Goals should be small, observable, controllable, meaningful, and doable
People will sink under TOO MUCH structure and guidance!
#4
You have to give up control to empower others.
Let your people lead in their area.
(Even if you don’t agree with where they are going!)
#5
There’s always more than one way to meet a goal.
Listen actively, and default to trust. #6
Always assume positive intent.
Ask “What do you mean by
that?”
A lot.
#7
Focus on Behavior
#8
Be unapologetically optimistic.
#9
94% of people are motivated by positive feedback.
Every single business outcome that can be tested for rises when the brain is in a state
of positivity.
Your job is to make your people
successful.
