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 — Never Split the Difference
- ✓ Gamitin ang Calibrated Questions (hal., 'Paano ko magagawa iyan?') upang pilitin ang kabilang panig na tumulong sa paglutas ng iyong mga problema habang binibigyan sila ng ilusyon ng kontrol.
- ✓ I-apply ang Labeling upang mapawi ang negatibong emosyon at palakasin ang positibong damdamin, na nagdudulot ng psychological safety para sa kabilang panig na magbahagi ng 'Black Swan' na impormasyon.
- ✓ Matutunan ang sining ng Mirroring upang agad na makabuo ng emosyonal na koneksyon sa iyong katapat, na naghihikayat sa kanila na magpaliwanag at ilahad ang kanilang tunay na mga prayoridad sa estratehiya.
