STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS
- Leadership is not really about a formula; it really comes down to basics.
- Turning a vision into reality involves a lot of mundane work, over and over. It may not be exciting, but it’s what moves us towards accomplishing the vision.
- Breaking a long-term vision into short-term chunks can help progress to be more apparent.
- You can keep a team motivated to keep on executing by connecting their daily tasks to the bigger vision.
- Even in the midst of the grind of getting things done, don’t be afraid to be flexible when necessary.
- In order to execute well, surround yourself with people who are (or who have the potential to be) better than you.
- When leading people towards accomplishing a vision, leaders should remember to not get too far out ahead of their teams, and make sure that they feel like their goals are achievable.
- Don’t be afraid to ask for guidance during the journey.
