What I learned:

To be an effective leader I must reflect my most important core values in my daily leadership behaviors and “lead by example”

Outcome: developed and refined my “Personal Leadership Philosophy” to use as a tool to build trust and drive personal accountability

That everyone is “hardwired” differently and that a person’s “leadership style” is often different under stress. How to leverage my personal Energize2LeadTM Profile (E2L), along with my team’s E2L graph to: Build trust and credibility Improve individual and team communications Improve team dynamics Improve coaching and motivation Better assess team member fit to tasks and jobs

What I learned (continued): Goals:

Collaborative goal setting is a key motivation tool Goals must be SMART, aligned both up and down the organization, measurable, tracked,

and communicated! Goal setting best practices

Communication / Feedback: Leaders cannot succeed without effective communication Communication is a process that often fails due to many sources of distortion, overload,

and incomplete feedback Communication best practices including knowing your people, E2L – how and what to

communicate based on how a person is “hardwired,” using the brief back technique to ensure that the “intent” is truly understood by the receiver, practicing Active Listening, and the importance of soliciting and giving more frequent feedback.

Platinum Rule: Communicate with others, as they want to be communicated with!
