HIGHLIGHTS
Acting Strategically in Times of Decline:
In times of decline, businesses must make tough decisions based on their industry, future plans, and history. The key is to act fast and choose the best option, even if it's not ideal.
Shaping Leadership:
Russell shares how they learned to lead by example in the Boy Scouts and by doing instead of ordering people around. He believes in servant leadership and feel it's the best style for him. Despite occasional resistance from peers or senior leaders, he continued to use this style throughout his career.
Coaching CEOs to Embrace Delegation:
CEOs struggle with the idea of servant leadership and delegating tasks to their employees. A good coach pushes CEOs to delegate more and let go of control. Delegation is key to growth and success.
Understanding the Importance of Delegation:
Life is about the good, bad and ugly. Knowing what makes you tick is important. Identify what brings joy and purpose in life, then prioritize time and decisions accordingly. Delegation is key in leadership. Delegation requires giving up control and trusting your team. Start by finding out what fills your heart and what kills your energy. Use tests like the Cultural Index or Myers-Briggs to understand your team. The leader must be prepared to let the delegate fail or succeed.
Power of Peers:
Peer Advisory Groups can be beneficial for CEOs as they provide feedback and accountability. While some may resist feedback, most are open to input from others. Russell believes that taking time to get input from others, even if you're busy, is essential for making good decisions.
