Good leaders inspire others to follow the vision/goal

• provides clarity
• communicate to the audience
• provide space to grow
• listen, figure out where the team is at

Frequent communication, open door, flat hierachy

Changes create uncertainty/insecurity

• be transparent
• what is the worst that can happen?
• move people from a place of fear/insecurity to a curious/open/playful mindset
  • make it into a challenge/game/puzzle

Uncomforable with giving feedback

• normal to be uncomfortable, it is about helping the other person improve
• 360-degree feedback, do it regularly. Everyone has to do it, a shared experience.

How to help someone figure out what they need to grow?

• listen to them, give them assignments to push them

Biggest ROI decision

• hiring someone who works well with you, shared values

Lowest ROI decision

• too ambitious and not enough resources to support it
• mispriced the cost of getting into a partnership

Biggest leadership mistake

• hiring when there are red flags
• let bad behavior go on for too long, affects morale
