Episode notes
Remember What Brought You Here
- Leaders often forget what got them promoted when they become removed from day-to-day work.
- David Roberts says his best leadership happens when he's on the court solving problems and thinking of others first, so he codified daily practices to 'unself' himself.
Ask Five Questions Before Speaking
- Ask at least five questions before making a statement about a project or problem to slow down and surface others' thinking.
- Roberts calls this the Hoosier rule and says it increases listening and makes teams more open to your eventual input.
Predecide Small Acts Of Recognition
- Pre-decide each day to be extraordinarily kind to a specific team member by sending handwritten thank-you cards to their home.
- Roberts mails personal notes so employees can celebrate with family and keep the recognition long-term.
