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 — High Output Management
- ✓ Unawain ang Managerial Leverage, at ituon ang iyong oras sa mga gawain na may pinakamalaking positibong epekto sa kabuuang output ng iyong koponan.
- ✓ Ipatupad ang OKR (Objectives and Key Results) upang masiguro na ang bawat taktikal na layunin ay mathematically na nakahanay sa pangkalahatang estratehikong misyon ng organisasyon.
- ✓ Ituring ang Pagsasanay at Motibasyon bilang dalawang pangunahing kasangkapan ng isang manager upang mapabuti ang pagganap, na ginagawang pangunahing pangangailangan sa operasyon ang pag-unlad ng empleyado, sa halip na isang HR na gawain lamang.
