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.
Key takeaways — Influence

- ✓ Ipatupad ang Pananagutan at Konsistensya sa pamamagitan ng paghingi ng maliliit na kasunduan na magdadala sa mga stakeholder na manatiling naka-align sa mas malawak na layunin ng organisasyon sa paglipas ng panahon.
