“Leadership Is A Language” - L. David Marquet
Six plays for all leaders, anchored in how you use language:
· Pre-plan decision points and give your people the tools they need to hit pause on a plan if they notice something wrong.
· Collaborate, don’t coerce: As the leader, you should be the last one to offer your opinion. Allow them to answer, how confident are you about this plan?
· Rather than expect your team to comply with specific directions, explain your overall goals, and get their commitment to achieving it one piece at a time.
· If every day feels like a repetition of the last, you’re doing something wrong.
· Ask your people to improve on plans and processes, rather than prove that they can meet fixed goals or deadlines.
· Flatten hierarchies in your organization and connect with your people to encourage them to contribute to decision-making.
Coaching works.
It will make you or someone you know a better leader.
