Counterintuitive Principles of Leadership – Week 25

Find happiness in what you do!

  1. Happiness, a good attitude, and optimism are contagious (and so are glumness, a bad attitude, and pessimism).
  2. Take a break once in while.
  3. Have a complete personal life and encourage everyone else to do so as well.
  4. Sometimes you must think, don’t do (stare out the window).
  5. “Be happy, don’t worry!”

Counterintuitive Principles of Leadership – Week 24

It’s your job to say “no” as well as “yes!”

  1. We already have enough “yes-people.”
  2. Bad ideas are everywhere, even in the boss’s office.
  3. And for trips to Abilene, as well.
  4. Question assumptions.

Counterintuitive Principles of Leadership – Week 23

Allow (force) folks to “fail forward!”

  1. Change, creativity, and innovation require some risk taking.
  2. Press for innovation until failure.
  3. Promote and deliver on life long learning for everyone.

Counterintuitive Principles of Leadership – Week 22

Recruiting is always key!

  1. As with most productive processes, good inputs improve the outputs.
  2. The extra cost is worth it – go ahead and pay the premium.
  3. All positions are critical – top to bottom.
  4. Attitude may be more important than skills, experience, and knowledge.
  5. Practice the “No Asshole Rule.”

Counterintuitive Principles of Leadership – Week 21

Consultants can help but are not the answer!

  1. There are no quick fixes.
  2. Beware of the “canned solution.”  I never heard a consultant say, “I don’t know.”
  3. Consultants have more time to think – but thinking is the key (step back, step forward).
  4. In the end, you have to do it yourself.

Counterintuitive Principles of Leadership – Week 20

Folks will not “get it” at first!

  1. “Counter-intuitive leadership is, well, counter-intuitive and means a major change in thinking for everybody.
  2. It’s easier to just be told what to do.
  3. Don’t worry if you hear, “Where’s the hierarchy?” “Who’s the boss?”
  4. You will certainly hear, “This will take some time.” – “Are you really serious, now I’ll have to think too?”
