The Principles

1. Walk slowly in the hall

#1 Walk slowly through the halls

• Slow Down
• To connect with people, you travel at their speed.
• Express that you care.

• The people who follow you also desire a personal touch. They want to know that others care about them. Most would be especially pleased to know that their boss had genuine concern about them and valued them as human beings, not just as workers who can get things done for them or the organization.

• Create a healthy balance of personal and professional interest.

• Pay attention when people start avoiding you.

• Tend to the people and they will tend to the business.

2. See everyone as a "10"

• See everyone as who they can be. They have great potential.
• Encourage them to achieve their highest performance.
• Catch them when they are doing something right and praise their effort.
• Trust them. Give them the same consideration you give yourself.
• Realize that a "10" has many definitions.
• Treat them as a "10."

#2 See everyone as a "10"

3. Develop each team member as a person

#3 Develop each team member as a person

• Development is seen as a long term process
• Self Development: you need to keep growing yourself
• Connect to your team members
• Lead everyone differently
• Be ready to have difficult conversations
• Celebrate the the "right" wins
• Prepare them for leadership!

4. Place people in their strength zones

#4 Place people in their strength zones

• Discover your teammates true strengths
• Successful leaders frind the strengths zones of the people they lead
• Give them the right job!

5. Model the behavior you desire

#5 Model the behavior you desire

Leaders set the tone and the pace for all those working for them. As a leader, you need to be what you want to see:

• Your behavior determines the culture
• Your attitude determines the atmosphere
• Your values determine the decisions
• Your investment determines the return
• Your character determines the trust
• Your work ethic determines the productivity
• Your growth determines the potential

6. Transfer the Vision

#6 Transfer the vision

• Leaders often need to transfer their own vision to build others and train them
• As a leader, ask yourself, 'What do I want them to know?' and 'What do I want them to do?'
• "If the vision isn't clear, the people aren't clear"
• Be passionate in your vision. Without passion the vision isn't transferable.
• "Take the vision from me to we"

7. Reward for Results

#7 Reward for Results

• Give Praise Publicly and Privately
• It's okay to let those you lead outshine you, for if they shine brightly enough, they reflect positively on you.
• Give more than just praise.
• Don't reward everyone the same.
• Praise effort, but reward only results. If you continually praise effort and do it for everyone, people will continue to work hard.
• Give perks beyond pay.
• Promote when possible
• You get what you pay for!
