?? Hello everyone,

Here are a couple of posts you might have missed:


?? Book Summary:

This week's book is "Multipliers " by Liz Wiseman

You should read this book if you have been a people manager for a while. The book highlights the untapped potential that gets wasted within current teams today, and how it is your job as a leader to find and cultivate it.

One of my favorite take aways from the book is this:

"If your boss had told you that you owned 51 percent of the vote, how would you operate? Would you second-guess yourself and run all decisions by him? Or would you swing in the opposite direction and make decisions without consulting him? You probably would do neither. Most likely, you would consult your boss on important decisions to get a second opinion, while for the smaller stuff, you might be wise to ignore him or her as needed to get your job done. Giving someone 51 percent of the vote and full ownership creates certainty and builds confidence. It enables them to stop second-guessing and start getting second opinions. Clarifying the role that you will play as a leader actually gives people more ownership, not less."

? Actionable advice:

It makes me think of Derek Sivers, who once said, “Trust but verify.” By giving your team ownership and confidence in their roles, you acknowledge the expertise and skills that led you to hire them in the first place. Of course, encourage them to seek your input on significant decisions, but trust their judgment; they are professionals after all. This will make you a standout leader and create a happier, more engaged team, allowing you to have the time to focus on building the vision and strategy; that being what you were hired to do.
