Introduction

Leaders must create and recreate the vision and ultimately guide team

spirit

Define a very clear picture of the future – a vision for the team

Be genuine, even if it means lowering your guard

reveal vulnerabilities to gain respect

High-impact leaders know when to reveal their vulnerabilities

Ask good questions

Use the simple formula of the 70-20-10 rule in conversations:

70% listening

20 % enquiring

10% summarizing

Truly effective communication is unnatural

Talk about things – even the hard things

- the “let’s not go there” issues

Teams are dysfunctional by the amount of stuff not talked about

Follow through on commitments

Leaders hold teams accountable by sharing a clear vision

Let others speak first

Leaders can put others’ needs to express their agenda ahead of their own

Listen

Honor creative ideas by stopping behavior that cuts others off

Face up to non-performing players

Maintaining unity through “passionate champions” is critical

Have fun, but never at others’ expense

Leaders of high-performing teams encourage themselves and their team to always take

the high road

Be confident and dependable

Your leader will always protect you with honesty & integrity
