Visualize the desired result clearly and concisely by focusing on the what, not the how. Allow people to learn from mistakes without re-inventing the wheel. Identify resources the person can draw on to accomplish the desired goal. Establish accountability standards of performance that will be used in evaluating the results. Specify consequences, both good and bad, tied to evaluation of performance.
Leaders inspire a shared vision, they don t command commitment.
Through intimate knowledge of the dreams, hopes, aspirations, visions, and values of the members of their organization, leaders are able to enlist support and drive from their members. Successful leaders encourage collaboration by making it possible for others to do good work. Successful leaders are team players who consult with all the members of the organization, inventory the strengths of individuals and consider what is important to the whole group. Ideas are attacked before they are completely expressed. There are arguments about inconsequential points.
