Looking to create clarity and provide vision for your team? Having core tenets can help. These are mine. As my boy Alexander Hamilton says, "If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?" As a marketing leader, I've gotten immense value from providing my team with core tenets or beliefs for our team. These are guiding principles for how we would approach our craft. I believe these tenets can apply to just about any marketing team, and the concept of tenets or guiding principles can serve any team or department regardless of function. I'd love to hear if anyone else has or uses this approach to provide vision and clarity to their team. And if you don't already, maybe consider giving it a try -- it's worked wonders for me. **???? ?????????????????? ????????????** ?1. Be everywhere… that’s appropriate and strategic. ?2. Find creative solutions… with some calculated risk. ?3. Optimism reigns… trust ourselves and the process. ?4. Iterate and optimize… always be testing something. ?5. Ruthless prioritization… guard your time like it’s gold. ?6. Teamwork is non-negotiable… we are in this together. ?7. Agility is our friend… move quickly, cut baggage loose. ?8. Work smart, not hard… find the path of least resistance. ?9. Kill your darlings… an idea is only as good as it performs. 10. Eyes on the prize, always… stay focused on the big picture. 11. Comfortable being uncomfortable… controlled chaos is ideal. 12. Ego stays outside... the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The importance of sounding boards. I was talking about this last week because it's something I am working on: daily. Who are your sounding boards and how well do you exercise your decisions by sharing them with your partners, mentors, and investors? In my role as an executive-headhunter and business partner, I am the sounding board for companies and professionals. In a very commoditized market, to me, my biggest differentiator is transparency and putting myself in a position to listen and advise with impartiality based on the business needs. In my personal life and career, it's sometimes lonely, so one of the main changes I made in recent years is to feel comfortable being vulnerable with my mentors (including my wife) so that I could create space to bounce ideas and bring them into my decision-making processes. Many executives find the C-level to be quite lonely, so it's essential to make room for collaboration both personally and professionally. As we mature and face tougher challenges, being too hard on ourselves and trying to figure everything out on our own, can be a heavy weight to carry. My 2 cent Tuesday blurb! ??

Trying to get others onboard with your idea is hard.? ? Think of it like this: when you're pitching a change to the status quo with a new idea, you're opening a curtain and you're widening the view for your audience to start shooting at you. ? ? You want to keep it really tight and narrow until you know you can take the shots fired. ? ? Prove to us that this works. Great. ? ? Once you've figured out how to make your idea work on a small scale, let's start to incrementally scale it up. ? ? Build consensus one person at a time. ? ? Many of us don't actually talk to people properly. We don't connect with people. ? ? Run the idea past people before the initial pitch so they're prepped and ready. Get them excited, so that when you have the meeting, you've actually had loads of micro-meetings before the meeting. ? ? Put the business case together in a way that really demonstrates your credibility and then once you get approval, follow up and keep it alive and excited in people's minds. ? ? Let me know how you get on.?

As the CEO, you don't often get feedback on your ideas. Having a sounding board is hard when you're on the top of the org chart. Would you say that's true? We love Tim's story. He found a trustworthy sounding board who provided feedback that, while it wasn't easy to hear, greatly benefited both his business and personal life. If you have a few minutes, we'd encourage you to listen to it: https://ow.ly/XNqL50RySAT Who's your sounding board?
