The Modern Leadership Issue - 21

PERFORMANCE MATTERS / PG 21
AS LEADERS WE NEED T O GIVE THOUGHT T O...
* How we show up for each other. See the humanity in each person
around you. Recognize that all people are equal, even if all jobs are not.
* How we trust. Reduce the rules. Give people space and show them you
believe in them by letting them make decisions. The value of the trust
and space far outweighs the efficiency and risk.
* How we orient growth. Stop the structures that pit people against
each other: my promotion vs. yours, my commission vs. what's best
for the company, my P&L and my resources vs. the needs of the group.
They're exhausting to uphold, create resentment and uncertainty, and
alienate real teams.
* What we prioritize. Put people first. Performance will come when you put
people first. You'll get better people to follow you that way; and you'll get
the best of what they have to offer.
* How we assess people. No one's assessment of other people is
objective. It's simply what you perceive. Lean into strengths. Look at the
whole person. Even better look at the team's performance. Don't
discount the intangibles that individuals contribute to the team dynamic.
* What we pursue. Stop chasing outcomes. The pursuit of outcomes at
the expense of people will be our undoing. Pursue excellence, pursue
compassion. As Bill Walsh said, " The score takes care of itself. "
* How we forgive. Trust is built on an
environment of safety and safety exists
when people know they can make mistakes.
Let them make the mistakes. Support
them, lift them up, learn from them.
Trust is an incredible asset. Forgiveness
is a key ingredient.
* How we look at people. See the strengths
and talents. Each person has so much
tremendous potential to do amazing things.
Lean into your obligation to help them
uncover it. And if you can't, set them
free-with the encouragement and
confidence-to go use it elsewhere.
* The love we bring into our work. Care about people without
concern for what it gets you in return. The impact on their lives
will be tremendous and the impact on yours will be as well.
* The grace we afford others and ourselves. This includes the
grace to be human, make mistakes, and grow.
THE OPPORTUNITY IS IN FRONT OF EACH OF US, EVERY DAY.
WHETHER IT'S OUR ORGANIZATION AS A WHOLE, OUR BUSINESS
UNIT, OR OUR INDIVIDUAL TEAM, WE CAN START WITH LOVE.
We can build better businesses. We can build a better world.
We can make an impact.
