I was recently rewatching one of my favorite talks, Jonathan Rosenberg's Rules to Success and it just struck me how many of his points are even more important today than ever, especially on communication, which is really important when working from home. I shared my notes on that with my team at work but figured it would also be useful to others here.
- Overcommunicate always all the time. You cant communcate enough
- Openly share everything with your collegues. Trust your people and give them this info. Trust breeds loyalty.
- Repetition does not spoil the prayer
- Each word matters. Be crisp and direct and choose each word wisely
- Great leaders are great teachers and great teachers are great storytellers. Narrative matters.
On Talking:
- As leaders, you learn more by listening than talking. Listening makes you humble and smart. When you listen you learn how things work, when you talk, you echo how you think things work.
- If you must talk, ask questions. People learn more about you from your questions
- If you actually know the answer in a business situation, talk, but back up with data.
- Try to respond instantly. If you don't respond instantly, everything stalls.
Thoughts are always welcome 😀
