The Tyrant Versus the Liberator

The Tyrant Versus the Liberator

TYRANTS create a tense environment that suppresses people’s thinking and capability. As a result, people hold back, bring up safe ideas that the leader agrees with, and work cautiously.

LIBERATORS create an intense environment that requires people’s best thinking and work. As a result, people offer their best and boldest thinking and give their best effort.


The Three Practices of the Liberator

Point # 1: Create Space

  • Release others by restraining yourself?
  • Shift the ratio of listening to talking
  • Define a space for discovery
  • Level the playing field

Point # 2: Demand Best Work

  • Defend the standard
  • Distinguish the best work from outcomes

Point # 3: Generate Rapid Learning Cycles

  • Admit and share mistakes
  • Insist on learning from mistakes


Becoming a Liberator

  1. Play fewer chips
  2. ?Label your opinions
  3. Talk up your mistakes
  4. Make space for mistakes
