The 4 Habits of Highly Awesome Leaders (Part 1)
Forget complicated models. This 1-min to read ⚡️Pro-tip will help you show others how awesome leadership looks like. Read on to dive in the scary world of walking the talk–our habit #1.
WHY [👟 the 💬] MATTERS:
Your habits punch harder than PowerPoints because they...
- Signal to others what's important (and what's not)
- Put abstract concepts in concrete terms (i.e. what trust really looks like)
- Bring future scenarios into the now (i.e. from a trivial team to an innovative one–by trying new things more than once).
Habit #1: Walk the Talk
TRIVIA TIME:
Let's say simplicity is one of your values. Let's also say your team produces a report you need for frequent decision making. As a leader, you can either ask them to...
- 📥 email it to you every time they create a new version
- 🔗 share the url once so you always have the latest version 24/7
Which one would you choose? Tic, tac, tic, tic, tac...
💡
Hint: coherent leaders get intended results. Incoherent leaders get... whatever.
HOW TO WALK THE TALK
Avoid getting whatever and confusing people by asking yourself this daily question ⤵️
Did I do my best to show others what my true values are as opposed to contradicting myself with my behavior?
That's it for now. Stay tuned for part 2.
