Key Takeaways

✦

The foundation of leadership is getting to the root of the 'why' behind promotions and pay, then building on each person's strengths and opportunities.

✦

Trust is built through candor: the same way you'd want a friend to tell you before you walk on stage with spinach in your teeth, employees want honest, caring feedback.

✦

People commit to goals when they understand why hitting them is good for them personally β€” not just for the company balance sheet.

✦

Set expectations that are reasonable and stretch people without breaking them; a 20-to-1 ratio just sets someone up to fail.

✦

Even a monthly 30-minute one-on-one beats nothing; if you can't find that cadence, you need more leaders and more capacity.

✦

The highest calling of leadership is driving business results while creating better humans and stronger communities β€” that is what culture really means.

✦

Internal Net Promoter Score matters: the nines and tens are the people who promote you, believe in you, and drive internal recruiting.
