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 — The Righteous Mind
- ✓ Gamitin ang Theory of Moral Foundations sa pagpapalago ng kultura ng iyong organisasyon, tiyaking umaayon ang misyon nito sa anim na pangunahing halaga ng tao upang mas mapalakas ang suporta ng mga empleyado.
- ✓ Unahin ang Elepante (Intuwisyon) sa iyong estratehikong komunikasyon, alamin na tatanggapin lamang ng tao ang iyong mga lohikal na argumento (Rider) kung nakakaramdam sila ng emosyonal na pagkakaugnay sa iyong layunin.
- ✓ Paigtingin ang Hive-Level Cooperation sa iyong koponan gamit ang mga karaniwang simbolo at laban, tulad ng mga suliranin sa merkado, na sumasalamin sa likas na pang-agham na drive ng tao para sa kolektibong moral na pagkilos.
