However, a few basic operating principles underlie everything I do: |
-
Make 1+1 = 3 – There are no substitutes for leadership. Nonetheless, a committed third party can catalyze the leadership process, and help get the leadership agenda delivered with speed and impact
-
Find the wheel, don’t reinvent it — At least 80% of the solution to most leadership problems is known somewhere in the top management team - from prior experience or original thinking. Finding the right 80%, adding the missing 20%, and getting everyone aligned behind it is, in some ways, the task every time
-
Make a little bit go a long way — Companies are dynamic organisms, often responding in surprising ways to leadership initiative. The right measured actions can usually improve business performance more assuredly than grand programs
-
Match the move to the moment – Companies at different stages of growth need different approaches to leadership. The right actions delivered at the right time can produce extraordinary impact
-
Engage ‘head, heart and hands’ — Engaging the whole person gets you those extra ergs of energy when the going gets tough. Leaders who model ‘the whole person’ stand a better chance of getting that in return when they need it
