Key takeaways — The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
- ✓ Unawain ang The Law of the Lid, na nagsasabing ang paglago ng iyong organisasyon ay nakadepende sa iyong sariling kakayahan sa pamumuno, kaya't napakahalaga ang patuloy na pagpapabuti sa sarili bilang isang estratehikong pangangailangan.
- ✓ Gamitin ang The Law of Influence sa pamamagitan ng pagtutok sa paglilingkod sa iba kaysa sa pag-asa lamang sa iyong titulo, dahil ang tunay na pamumuno ay hindi maaaring ipagkatiwala o ipasa.
- ✓ Samantalahin ang The Law of the Process sa pamamagitan ng paglalaan ng oras sa maliliit na araw-araw na gawi sa pamumuno, na nauunawaan na ang kagalingan ay naitatag sa pamamagitan ng palagiang aksyon sa paglipas ng panahon, hindi sa isang iglap.
Key takeaways — Atomic Habits
- ✓ Magpokus sa Sistema kaysa sa mga Layunin, na nauunawaan na ang resulta ng iyong organisasyon ay isang lagging na sukatan ng inyong kolektibong araw-araw na nakagawian at proseso.
- ✓ Gamitin ang Disenyo ng Kapaligiran upang gawing pinakamadaling landas ang produktibong estratehikong gawain, na nagbibigay-daan sa mas mababang kognitibong pasanin sa iyong koponan.
- ✓ Ipatupad ang 1% Rule ng tuloy-tuloy na pag-unlad, na naghahanap ng maliliit na pagbuti sa bawat departamento upang makabuo ng isang pinal na epekto na mas mahusay kaysa sa malaki at mapanganib na inobasyon.
