CapacityVeracity

Any leader worth their salt knows that important work cannot be done without a high-performing and highly committed team.

Some of the best leaders I've observed over 50 years use the following strategies to build and bolster the teams they work on/with:

• Provide a steady drumbeat of the WHY.
• Put in place guardrails rather than regulations/rules.
• Stay out of the way, but ever present to help when needed. 
• Remain always open and accessible for feedback and dissent. 
• Push, pull, prod, incentivize, expect, and model continual learning.
• Continually monitor and discuss progress (and lack thereof) as a team. 
• Push, pull, prod, incentivize, expect, and model continuous improvement.

Plenty on that to-do list. We can start now.
