WHO not HOW

Have a problem?  (All leaders do).

Rather than thinking about how YOU are going to solve this problem, think about WHO knows how to fix this problem and how they can fix it for you.

Get them on your team.  Hire them.  Ask them.  Empower them.  Hire their firm to get them to work on this project for you.  Ask them to do it on the weekends.  Whatever!

WHO not HOW.

Leverage

LEVERAGE – Using the technology, time, money, knowledge, brains, or skills of others to accomplish what you yourself could not accomplish, or accomplish so quickly.

Where do you use leverage?

Where do you need to use more leverage?

Speak the unsaid

Nothing can change until the unsaid is spoken.

That thing that no one wants to talk about. 

That thing or person that is holding you and the team back.

There is something to declare.

It’s what everyone knows and no one wants to acknowledge.

Acknowledge it.

Nothing can change or get better until the unsaid is spoken.

(P.S. and that thing could be YOU.)

Empower your way to the top

Leaders and managers -EMPOWER good people to give their best to move the team forward towards goals.

You cannot babysit your way to accountability and high performance.

Don’t abdicate or allocate work.  Delegation is nice but even that isn’t the way.

Empowerment is the highest form of leadership.

The Most Dangerous Competitor

If you were going to compete against your company, knowing what you know, what would you do to make a dent in it?

Fix that weakness.
