When understanding is separated from reality, we lose our powers. Understanding must constantly be tested against reality and updated accordingly. This isn’t a box we can tick, a task with a definite beginning and end, but a continuous process.
The Great Mental Models
Shane Parrish, Rhiannon Beaubien
Leadership is not about titles, status and power over people. Leaders are people who hold themselves accountable for recognising the potential in people and ideas, and developing that potential.
When you catch someone doing something right, follow these steps when you praise them: 1. Praise the person as soon as you notice them doing something right. 2. Let them know what they did right—be specific. 3. Tell them how good you feel about what they did right and how it helps. 4. Pause to give the person time to feel good about what they’ve done. 5. Encourage them to do more of the same. 6. Make it clear you have confidence in them and support their future success. Praising is a powerful activity for both managers and team members. In fact, it is the key to training people and making winners of everyone you work with.
