THE HUDDLE
LeadershipThe essence of leadership begins with integrity and vision. Effective leadership is not about being liked or making speeches. Leadership is defined by lifting the vision and performance of the team to a level beyond their “normal” talent.
Title Do not make emotional decisions. Collect all the facts. Don’t forget to use common sense.
Respect the name behind the title.
IntegrityYour words and life should match up. “What we do in the dark comes to light.”
VisionFocus on objectives, not obstacles. What?
How? Why? Have realistic expectations. A goal without a plan is just a wish.
CommunicationBe on time. Think before you speak. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. Be a good listener. Define the role of your staff.
PassionHave energy. You must set the tone. Attitude, it’s your best friend and your worst enemy.
ChangeYou must create opportunities for people to grow. People resist change because it takes energy to do something different. Details. Do the little things – “corners.”
HumilityCheck your ego at the door. If you want credit, go to the bank. It’s never about you, it’s about the team.
LegacyMake sure you have made a difference. When people say your name, what will they say?
